Saint Matthew Feast Day Celebrations<\/h2>\n

Sunday, September 21, 2025<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our parish feast day is a special time for us to come together as a community, honor our patron, and grow in faith and fellowship. For our parish, Saint Matthew\u2019s feast day, September 21, is elevated to a solemnity, which is the highest ranking celebration in the Church. This year we are lucky to have the feast day fall on a Sunday, which will allow even more parishioners to celebrate together as a community. Additionally, Saint Matthew is covering the cost of the food so it is free for all to attend.<\/p>\n

Former pastor Bishop Mark Beckman <\/strong>is returning as part of our Jubilee celebration for Saint Matthew School and will celebrate 8:30 a.m. Mass.<\/b> The Men\u2019s Schola providing music for the liturgy. It will be followed by a light breakfast reception in the Cohan-Hansom Building.<\/p>\n

Following the 11 a.m. Mass<\/b>, a free luncheon will be served in the Cohan-Hansom Building. Please RSVP for the luncheon to ensure enough food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, Bishop Mark Spalding<\/strong> will preside at the 5 p.m. Mass<\/b> on Saturday, September 20, as part of our ongoing Jubilee celebrations. There is no reception following this Mass.<\/p>\n

Come celebrate our patronal feast day with prayer, fellowship, and a shared meal as one parish family!<\/p>\n
