HISTORY
Priests began serving the people in Wheatland county aroung 1910. At first, with no church in the city, the priests would celebrate Masses at the ranches around the current site of the Church. Bishop Carroll requested that a church be built in Harlowton. St. Joseph's Catholic Church was built in 1917 to serve the people of Wheatland County, Montana. In addition to the main parish in Harlowton, two missions were established in Judith Gap and Shawmut. Around the same time a third mission was established in Hedgesville, but that church closed in 1958.
Purpose
We, the people of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Immaculate Conception Church, and Blessed Sacrament Church, commit to follow the evangelical call from Jesus to go out and make disciples of all nations. Our Roman Catholic identity connects us to the larger church through which we have our idenity.
