2024 Information<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

For the past 25+ 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.<\/p>\n

Our continued support, alongside the leadership of Father Ginsley Prosper, the parish\u2019s new pastor, and Dr. Librice, the doctor at the Gobert clinic, is helping the community meet its medical, physical, spiritual and educational needs.<\/p>\n

Our largest annual appeal and fundraiser is the Well Played Songwriter\u2019s Night. This year\u2019s event marks our 11th year hosting the event. After last year\u2019s event was held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are excited to meet in-person again in the Saint Matthew Courtyard.<\/p>\n

\n

Barry Dean takes nothing for granted. Even after earning a Grammy nomination for Tim McGraw\u2019s \u201cDiamond Rings and Old Barstools\u201d and topping charts with four No. 1 singles, he remains awestruck each time he hears a song he wrote on the radio. Dean still can\u2019t help but think of how he seemed destined to work a 9-to-5 in Kansas\u2013\u2013a fate that now seems preposterous, given his track record: two No. 1 singles for Little Big Town, \u201cPontoon\u201d and \u201cDay Drinkin’\u201d; \u201cThink a Little Less,\u201d which topped the charts for Michael Ray; \u201cHeartache Medication\u201d which most recently hit #1 for Jon Pardi; Ingrid Michaelson\u2019s Top 40 smash \u201cGirls Chase Boys\u201d; and an ever-growing list of country and pop successes prove Dean is doing exactly what he was made to do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
