Most Rev. Austin A. Vetter Bishop | Diocese of Helena

On Friday, June 27, 2025, Father Dillon Armstrong was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Helena. The ordination ceremony took place at the Cathedral of St. Helena and was conducted by Bishop Austin Vetter. Fr. Armstrong's family, friends, clergy, and faithful from across the Diocese attended the Ordination Mass.

During the liturgy, Fr. Armstrong lay prostrate before the altar while the community invoked the intercession of saints. Following this ritual, Bishop Vetter anointed his hands with Holy Oil and handed him bread and wine, symbolizing his new responsibilities in priesthood.

A livestream of the Mass and a photo gallery of the event are available for viewing.
