St. Matthew’s is blessed to have so many parishioners who generously volunteer their time and talent in so many ways – as catechists, liturgical ministers, in the ministry to the homeless, in the ESL/SSL program, helping in the Rectory office, on various committees and much more.  On Sunday, November 17, during the 11:30am Mass, we celebrate and publicly thank many of those who dedicate themselves to serving Christ in His mission, with a special Commissioning rite.
