Special thanks to the Men’s Club, which recently donated $20,000. Other contributions continue to arrive. Some of them come through the Capital Needs […]

Parish Administrator’s Note – October 9, 2022
A CREATIVE CHURCH? A few weekends ago (September 18), Fr. Steve explained the story of the so-called “bad steward.” (If you missed it or want to review, visit our website, www.st-matts.org, where you can find recordings of our online masses. The homily begins at about 18 minutes into the recording.) I was struck by Fr. […]
Who will answer the call?
The Community of St. Matthew includes more than parishioners. Loaves and Fishes, St. Mary’s Clinic, Casa Guadalupana, People of Praise and Quantum STEAM Academy all benefit from St. Matthew’s presence on the West Side. And these programs serve many people, well beyond the parish membership. We need strong parish leadership to continue to be the […]

One vendor of the four was preferred. Members of the finance council checked on the references. They made contact with six companies who have had roofs installed/ replaced by our preferred company.
