My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and desire to receive You into my Soul. Since I cannot receive You at Communion, come spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. AMEN

St. Matthew Family,
In this ever-changing COVID-19 world, we are doing our best to have you safely return. We resumed public Masses at 5 PM on Saturday evenings and 8:30 & 11 AM Sunday mornings. Bishop Zarama allows Mass indoors at 50% capacity (half our pews are taped off), including face masks and social distancing. For those at risk who wish to stay home, we Live Stream our 5pm Saturday Mass on our YouTube channel.
Here are the criteria for attending our indoor Masses:
RECONCILIATION has resumed by appointment only, outside weather permitting. The required face masks and social distancing will be observed. Email or call Father Robby to make an appointment.
General Guidelines:
Phase 4?
Throughout this pandemic, St. Matthew parishioners have generously given to the weekly Offertory through Online Giving and weekly envelopes. This has enabled us to cover our operating expenses. Thank you for your continued support!
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK, THOSE AT RISK,
OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND TEACHERS
