Our Mission

St. Matt’s exists in the world as a visible expression of God’s love.

Our Vision

Our Catholic community on the West Side of St. Paul, MN, seeks to fulfill the Vatican II promise of spiritual renewal by welcoming all, working for social justice, creating a model for lay leadership, and enriching the faith life of anyone who seeks the love of God.
