St. Matthias Church is a Catholic Christian community nestled in the Emerald Hills area of Redwood City. In 2014, we began an exciting pastoral planning process which resulted in the development of a long range plan for the parish community called, Shaping Our Future. This plan is focused on seven areas of parish life including prayer and worship, catechesis, family and pastoral care, evangelization, stewardship, community building and justice and charity. The plan to intended to provide a vision and mission for the parish community for many years to come. Our parish community includes about one thousand registered families, we feature an intergenerational and family-based faith formation program which includes all ages and all walks of life in our monthly GIFT gatherings. We also have a full-day, year round, Catholic Preschool whose enrollment is about 90 children. We are included in Deanery 11 – Southern San Mateo County and are part of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
