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, Rosanne Rawe, 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. Straub after Mass. May God Bless you!
DPAA Reminder- This year's goal is $13,000. There are pledge envelopes in the gathering space at church.
CCD Personal Hygene Product Drive- The CCD classes will be collecting personal hygene products for Parish Kitchen. The following list contains a few suggestions, but is not limited to them: soap, disposable razors, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, disposable cleansing wipes, feminine hygiene products, assorted bandages, hair ties, combs. A box will be placed in the back of church for drop offs until just before Christmas. Any and all donations will be appreciated.
ST. NICHOLAS BREAKFAST AND ADVENT CONCERT—Please join us after the 9 AM Mass on Sunday, December 8th, for the St. Nicholas Pancake Breakfast. Our Sunday School students will also be performing an Advent Concert this year to help prepare our hearts for our Savior’s birth.
MEN’S PRAYER MEETINGS—There is a group of men who meet every other Monday evening in LaRosa’s back meeting room and they welcome men from all parishes and non Catholics to attend. They study the Gospel readings, engage in prayers, and discussions. Talk to Chris Fryman if interested or just show up at 7 PM this coming Monday (18th) evening at La Rosa’s.
HOLIDAY CARDS TO SHUTINS—The CCD kids will be making holiday cards (Thanksgiving and Christmas) for our shut ins. We already have Imogene Fisk and Bill Schneider on our list. If you know of someone else, please tell Lindsey Rawe.
HOSEA HOUSE FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS- We will have a family for which to buy presents again this year. Look for the giving tree in the back of church at the beginning of Advent. Please take a tag or two and make a child have a wonderful Christmas.
