Volunteers are needed on Saturday, January 7th at 9:00 am to take down the Christmas trees. We need many hands to accomplish this task. Many thanks to those who have helped to make this such a successful event. Please bring scissors with you.

Did you know that many companies sponsor a matching gift program to encourage employees to be generous? That’s FREE money to a non-profit of their choice. Why not consider giving to the Church this year? Your end-of-year giving may have DOUBLE the impact!

On GivingTuesday 2022 — Tuesday, November 29, 2022

Thank you to our amazing community for their generosity and support during Giving Tuesday. We appreciate you! For anyone who would still like to give, it’s not too late. Every donation — no matter how small — helps!

St. Matthias continued two GivingTuesday campaigns:

• “Spiritual Tech Connect” campaign for the church
• “Love Your School” campaign for the school

The church’s campaign had two goals: 1) To raise funds for monitors and equipment to project text and videos inside the church, and 2) To raise funds to purchase and install permanent live-streaming equipment so we can continue to livestream our Masses and other services to spiritually connect our entire community, especially our homebound parishioners and family members and friends unable to participate in-person. On November 29th as we continued the second part of last year’s Giving Tuesday campaign: Spiritual Tech Connect. We thankfully reached our goal of $13,748, so we can set up the new media for a better liturgical experience in person and online.
