Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington

Single Servings of Service Program

Single Servings of Service allows parishioners to volunteer in a meaningful way without making a long-term commitment. There are two to four Single Servings of Service events per month. This service program allows St. Matthew’s to outreach and serve a wider community since recipients of single servings of service are a variety of nonprofit service agencies that serve different populations within the Washington, D.C. area. If interested, send an email to stmattservice@gmail.com.

When the date approaches details about these events will be announced in the church bulletin and other places like the church's facebook page, the Social Justice and Community Service's google group email list, and the Young Adult Ministry email list.  If you want to lead the group of St. Matthew's parishioners for any of these events please contact Gregg Glotnis at gglotnis@verizon.net.  Leading would involve arranging carpools, if necessary, and telling people where and when to meet. 

Upcoming Dates

We will prepare meals for patients at Christ House in Columbia Heights on two Saturdays—May 12 and June 30. Christ House provides 24-hour personal care for sick, homeless people to help break the cycle of homelessness. Join us as we help prepare breakfast for their patients.

DC Central Kitchen is popular among DC volunteers, including DC parishioners. This year we signed up St. Matthew's Cathedral to prepare food at their soup kitchen on Saturday, August 18. 

Regular Events

A regular fixture of this service program is the bi-annual (Fall Feast of Treats and Spring Celebration) potluck dinners for St. Matthew’s homeless friends. Volunteers help to set up, serve the meal, provide hospitality to our guests, and clean up afterwards; make or purchase food for the dinner; and/or give a donation towards food and supplies. Watch for these events in the parish bulletin or contact Nancy Lutz at nlutz@kelleydrye.com.
