Parish Mission Statement
We, the faith community of St. Matthias, formed in the spirit and mission of Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic tradition, gather in the celebration of the Eucharist to give witness to the presence of the Risen Lord in our lives.
As a diverse people journeying together in faith, we are growing in awareness of the pain and joy of our brothers and sisters and desire to live in a spirit of repentance and reconciliation.
As disciples, rooted in God's Word and sacraments, we are awakened to the needs of others and share our time, treasure and talent in our faith community and beyond.

Lent - Prayer
Lent, a season of grace, gives us a wonderful opportunity as a time for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Our Bishop also reminds us in his February 2010 letter (see the Feb. 14th bulletin) that from the first preface prayer at Mass for Lent that we are given "this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed".
Some prayer opportunities:
Stations of the Cross - Fridays at 7pm during Lent
