Masses have resumed and the Church is still alive and well.
Some ministries have resumed and we are adjusting to virtual meetings.
Welcome to the latest issue of The Matthian.
A nod to the founding members of the parish community, utilizing a new way to communicate and stay in touch.
Masses & the Alphabet System
All parishioners are welcome to attend Mass on either Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 10:30 am next weekend. We have determined that the alphabet system (A-L vs. M-Z on alternate weekends) we implemented to limit the number of people attending is not needed at this time.
If you plan to attend Mass next weekend, please bring your completed Informed Consent Form.
Please watch Fr. Dave’s “Road to Reopening” video.
Scripture Reflection – The Body and Blood of Jesus
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve heard the familiar refrain, “We’re all in this together.” It’s a beautiful sentiment of solidarity that has sought to rally us as a nation to face the challenge as one, shoulder to shoulder. Click here to read more.

Peninsula Multifaith Coalition: Samaritan House Collection
Samaritan House of San Mateo is in need of children’s socks and undergarments for distribution through their Kids Closet. We thought we could help by organizing a donation drive to collect these items now so they are ready to be delivered once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted (hopefully before school starts in August). Click here for more information.
Thank you for your continued support!

As we adapt to these unprecedented times, we are committed to serve our community as best we can. Please remember to check our website www.stmatthiasparish.org for updates.
