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.
