The Matthian:
We’re Still Here
OUTDOOR MASS Each Sunday at 9:30 am
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.
Feast of St. Francis – Blessing of the Animals
This weekend, parishioners had the option of attending Mass inside the Church on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday morning at 9:30 am outdoors. We celebrated the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of our Archdiocese and patron saint of animals. Parishioners were invited to bring their dogs and small animals in carriers. 10-15 dogs and one cat was blessed immediately following Mass!
Saturday 5:00 pm Mass is live-streamed to our YouTube channel “Live Streams from St. Matthias in Redwood City.” We will no longer be live-streaming the outdoor Mass. Please subscribe to the channel for easier access.
St. Charles will offer one Mass per weekend, Sunday 8:30 am outdoors in the parking lot between the Parish Center and Church. Folks are invited to bring their own chairs. This Mass will also be live streamed to St. Charles’ Facebook page.
If you miss the live stream, videos of each weekend Mass are available on YouTube and Facebook and our parish website, www.stmatthiasparish.org.
UPDATE: YouTube no longer supports email notifications to subscribers. Please click here to read updated instructions.
