The Saint Matthew Haiti Ministry proudly presents…

Saturday, September 12, at 6 p.m.
Saint Matthew Courtyard
21+ Event

For more than 30 years, Saint Matthew has ministered to the Haitian community of Gobert through a partnership with Our Lady of Miracles parish and sister chapels. These parishes serve approximately 25,000 people and are located in a northern, rural area of Haiti.

Our continued support, alongside the leadership of Father Nicolas Floréal and Dr. Librice, the doctor at the Gobert clinic, is helping the community meet its medical, physical, spiritual and educational needs.

Our largest annual fundraiser, Well Played: A Songwriters’ Night, is now in its 16th year. Last year’s event, held in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of Saint Matthew School, had a special focus on education. Through the incredible generosity of sponsors and donors, we raised a record $64,000+! Those funds, are allowing us to build four additional classrooms as well as provide windows and doors for the school.

This year, we are excited to welcome Patrick Murphy to Songwriters’ Night. A rising Nashville singer-songwriter signed with Warner Records Nashville, Patrick brings heartfelt storytelling, authentic country sounds, and a passion for connecting with audiences through his music. Check back and click below for artist bios as additional songwriters are confirmed.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and our Saint Matthew Music Ministry opens the evening with a special performance at 6:45.

NEW THIS YEAR your ticket includes a BBQ sandwiches and chips, in addition to beer and wine. You are welcome to bring in additional or alternative food. Thank you to pit-master Adam Richter for smoking the meat for the event. Please note, food trucks will not be present this year.

Join us on Saturday, September 12, for an unforgettable evening of music, fellowship, and support for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Tickets will be available soon!

Our Songwriters

Patrick Murphy was born with a musical state of mind. The Perham, Minnesota native began honing his piano skills at the age of three, going on to play in front of his first audiences at the local church. The chapel turned into restaurants as Murphy added singing to his craft, developing a style influenced by the likes of Billy Joel, Elton John, Journey and more. Now, two decades after first sitting down at the piano bench, the 26-year-old has discovered his own sound. Self-described as Rascal Flatts and Dan + Shay meet The Script and Rob Thomas, Murphy is set to strike a chord with listeners. The past several years have already seen massive career milestones for the young Nashville-based musician, from landing his first publishing and major label record deals, penning Tim McGraw’s recent hit “Standing Room Only”, to opening for artists such as Maren Morris, Kane Brown, Kip Moore, Maddie & Tae and more. This is just the beginning as Murphy readies to share new music into the world later this year.
