St. Matthew offers many opportunities to participate in our growing faith family. After all Masses, the weekend of Oct. 5/6, we are hosting a MINISTRY FAIR outside the entrance to the church (inside the Social Hall if raining). Each of our ministries, committees and groups will have an information table where you can learn, join or ask questions. We encourage everyone to stop and spend some time after Mass.
