VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES & PARISH NEEDS

 “Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8 

FAITH FORMATION

St. Matthew’s Faith Formation program needs volunteers to teach students in younger grades and needs two volunteers at the front desk. Time commitment is Wed. evenings from mid-Sept until early May. We are seeking volunteers between the ages of 16 & 64. Additionally, substitute teachers are needed. Even if you could only volunteer occasionally, we could still use your help! To find out more, please email Faith Formation director Janelle Rohr at or call or text 651-242-6004

I invite anyone who could help with this volunteer opportunity to contact me through the parish office or email me at

THANK YOU!

We are a Volunteer Parish!!  The future of our parish depends on our dedicated volunteers.

THANK YOU  to the 53 parishioners who attended our Public Mass last Sat. As we continue to film that mass for those who wish to attend the Sunday Mass online, we thank our celebrant Fr. Adrian who offers mass for us and through the words of his homily gives us strength & hope as we live through these trying days. To John who assists where needed and makes sure everyone & everything is where it needs to be. To our Pianist Jill and our Cantors who provided the beautiful music. Jeanne who sang at the Sat. mass and to Kathy who was the cantor for the Sun online mass. To Miles & Mooreen who presented the readings on Sat and to  Tim & Mary who did the readings for the Sunday online mass.  To our Eucharistic Ministers Janelle & Dave. We thank our Sacristans/server Ginny & Mary. Thank you to our ushers Tim & Tom & Doorman Mike. We are all especially grateful to Alan!!  He came forward last March and offered to film all our services. He then edits the production and puts it out on the web for all to view! He makes it possible for us to come together and worship as a parish, during an exceedingly difficult time. If you were not able to join the service as it happened, you can watch the mass on the st-matts.org. Website/Facebook page or on YouTube.

Do you have family, neighbors, or friends who are unable to attend mass? If you would like to take communion to them in their homes, call the Parish Center or see a Sacristan before mass. If you do not have a pyx one will be provided.

THANK YOU  to Pete and James who patched the concrete at the front door entrance to the church!
