St. Matthias Parish 

Dear Faithful Parishioners,

For many people, the word “Church” conjures up an image of a particular building or an organization or institution. It’s much more biblically accurate to speak of “Church” as a priestly people who have been called to witness to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in his saving event of his passion, death, and resurrection. The living Church is the ‘Body of Christ’ in the world.

We are the caring, healing, vibrant Catholic Eucharistic faith Communities, who celebrate and promote the Divine Mercy of God through prayer and service. We proclaim Christ -- yesterday today, and forever greater -- through a variety of liturgical, devotional, musical and educational experiences.
Jesus, We Trust in You in our ongoing process of bridge building and community

We must be driven to witness to the ‘Gospel of Life’ and celebrate the human person in all forms and stages. Our churches have been richly blessed by a generous donation of our time talent and treasure of your faith filled parishioners. Your constant enthusiastic participation in the spiritual, social, and financial dynamics of our churches is inspiring and outstanding. I thank you. Keep up your good work of witnessing to a ‘Church Alive.’ The more involved we become on all fronts in growing the Church the more effective our witness. Thank you. God Bless.
With God all things are possible!
