Masses of Remembrance
The St. Matthias Community along with The Family Support Group Invite parishioners to submit the names of friends and relatives who have passed from this life into the next since Nov 1, 2019.
Loved ones will be honored at our annual Masses in Remembrance. Masses will be offered October 31st at 5:00 p.m. and November 1st at 9:30 a.m. Both Masses will be celebrated inside the Church.
We remember those who have left this life and recognize that they are now in the Communion of Saints.
Please choose the Mass most convenient for you and your family and let us know if you will be attending.
We are also preparing a video remembrance to be shown at the masses. To include your loved one, please email or send a photo and the dates of their birth and death to Lisa Bamford in our Office before October 20th.
