Welcome to St. Matthew Parish

Come Visit Us!

We are a small country parish and welcome all visitors to come worship with us. If you enjoy your visit with us and wish to become a registered member, please see Father, Linda Fryman or Lisa Cooper after Mass to fill out a registration form. We pride ourselves on being a faith family that welcomes all to join and get to know us. If you aren't Catholic or would like to know more about the Catholic faith, please call the rectory (859-356-6530) and leave a call back number or see Fr. Lange after Mass. May God Bless you!

DPAA Reminder- We have met our goal for the 2025 DPAA collection. Our goal was $13,400 this year. Everything over this amount will be returned to our Parish and we will not have to pay the accessment (tax) that we pay to the Diocese on it. If you have not donated or would like to expand on your previous donation, now is the perfect time to do so. Thank you for your generousity. 

RETURN WORKSHOP-There will be a six-session workshop guided by the book Return by Brandon Vogt at the Curia in Bishop Howard Auditorium beginning at 6:30 pm Thursday, Oct. 23. If you feel called to help lapsed Catholics find their way back to the Church, this may help you help them. The workshop teaches you how to help them. Statistics say that only 7% of young adults who were raised Catholic actively practice the faith! With your help, maybe we can open their eyes to what they have been missing. To register or get more information, call Gerry Otto at 513-322-9783 or email [email protected]

THANKSGIVING MASS-We will have our Thanksgiving Mass at 9AM on Thursday, Nov. 20. Instead of a monitary collection we ask that you bring non perishable food, a gift card, or a check to St. Vincent de Paul. The young people of the parish will bring the food to the altar at the time for the collection. After Mass, the food will be taken to St. Cecilia St. Vincent de Paul for distribution to the needy families and people of our community.

SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR GAZA- The Diocese has asked us to conduct a special collection for the humanitarian needs facing the people of Gaza. The Catholic Relief Services and the local Church in Gaza will be working with the people of Gaza to deliver relief. This collection will be Nov. 22 and 23. Please be as generous as possible.

TAX FREE GIVING DAYS- Our Diocese has graciously given us a Diocesan tax free time to donate directly to our Parish. The dates between Nov. 25 amd Dec. 4 are the dates we can take advantage of this collection. The best part of taking advantage of this time to donate is twofold. First, our parish does not have to include these donations in the amount that is taxed by the Diocese and second, the money will come directly to us in real time. We have met our DPAA goal so, of course, anything given now will also not be accessed by the Diocese but that money comes back to us very slowly in incremental checks from the Diocese. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who make a larger donation later in the year for tax purposes or just because you find your budget allows it at this time.  We plan to use the money to complete our picnic shelter, an instant hot water heater for the hall, or to repair our porch roof. More info on how to donate will be coming at Mass next week.
