Our pilgrims are back! Enjoy a video recap of their 2-week World Youth Day pilgrimage through Spain and Portugal.

Our pilgrims are back and, thanks to Fr. John Benson, now share a video recap of their journey to Spain, and ultimately to Lisbon to celebrate World Youth Day Lisbon 2023 with Pope Francis!

Please hold in prayer the twelve youth from our parish—Sergio, Jenny, Cynthia, Jaasiel, Janela, Jocelyn, Lesley, Luduim, Marely, Marilyn, Mia & Bryan—and their chaperones Fr. John Benson and Robert Torres, who are attending World Youth Day in Lisbon (August 1 - 6)!

Come out this Friday night, July 21, to hear the Priests in Concert band, including Fr. John Benson, perform at a World Youth Day fundraising concert at St. Mary of the Mills' Keesler Center in Laurel, MD! Read Catholic News Agency's profile of our talented priests and support the 400 ADW youth (12 from St. Matthew's) attending WYD.

St. Matthew's Social Justice Committee shares a message on our parish community's commitment to fighting racism, and provides several online resources helpful in educating ourselves about the ways racism manifests itself in ourselves and our world.

Pope Francis gives us a great gift in his 2014 series of catecheses, or instruction, on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Read a short teaching from Pope Francis on each gift.

Read about the issues that members of your Parish Council have been working on, and what's up next!
