A full obituary for Fr. Matthew Patrick Huber will be posted when available.

Fr. Matthew Patrick Huber, born in Missoula, Montana, on April 1, 1959, passed away recently. He was the son of William Huber and Patricia Powers and grew up in Helena, where his father was on the faculty at Carroll College. Fr. Huber's dedication to his faith led him to attend Carroll College and the North American College in Vatican City, where he was ordained as a priest on June 5, 1987. Throughout his career, he was awarded a JCL from the Catholic University of America in 1993.

His ministry took him to various parishes, including St. Ann Parish in Butte, St. Rose Parish in Dillon, the Anaconda Catholic Community, Holy Family Parish in Missoula (now Blessed Trinity), and St. Mary Mission Parish in Stevensville. For the past few years, he resided with his sister, Stacy, receiving Hospice care.

In honor of Fr. Huber, a Vigil will be held on Tuesday, May 7th, at 7 p.m. at Blessed Trinity Church in Missoula. The Funeral Mass is scheduled for Wednesday, May 8th, at 11 a.m. at the same location, followed by a luncheon. The burial will take place at the Priests’ Plot in Resurrection Cemetery, Helena, on Thursday, May 9th, at 1 p.m.

As the community mourns the loss of a dedicated servant, they remember him with the words, "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him."
