"TOGETHER AGAIN"

​Many thanks to all of you who have developed, implemented and followed our safety protocols during the pandemic. As more and more people have become vaccinated, we feel that we can now modify our plans.  Starting with Masses for the weekend of June 12 -13,  we will no longer be taking ticket reservations.  Those who wish to remain socially distant and wear masks may do so.  The ambassadors will assist in seating you when you arrive.  Those who are vaccinated and at less risk will no longer be required to be socially distanced, but we ask that you be mindful of those around you who are still practicing social distance and masking.  It is so good to be "Together Again".

OFFERTORY COLLECTIONS

In this time of social distancing and isolation, please remember that the needs of your parish continue.  You can continue to support your parish through traditional methods (envelopes) or it may be more convenient for you to make your offertory contribution electronically through St. Matthew’s E-giving program.   Please see St. Matthew’s E-Giving page for more information.  We are truly grateful for all who have remained faithful with their financial assistance during this time of uncertainty.
