Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8 

GREETERS: St. Matthews parish seeks additional “Greeters”, for Sun. masses. We welcome People who are able  to extend a warm welcome to those arriving for Mass. Your friendly smile and enthusiasm for the Church of St. Matthew are all that is needed. To help, contact: , or the parish office.

PARISH CLEAN-UP: Mark your calendars to take part in the parish Spring Clean-up. On Sat May. 7^th, from 9am – 11am!  We will gather to clean the inside of the church and chapel as well as the grounds around the buildings. Cleaning supplies will be provided. If you prefer to use your own cleaning products, feel free to do so. A sign-up sheet is on the table in the back of the church! The more volunteers – the sooner the jobs will be completed. Please volunteer and show that being a “Volunteer Parish” works for St. Matts!
