DPAA Reminder- We have begun our 2025 DPAA collection. Our goal is $13,400 this year. Please send in your donations. There are purple envelopes by the bulletins at church or you can go on www.covdio.org and donate electronically. Please make sure it is designated for St. Matthew. 

Baby Bottle Collection Starts-The annual baby bottle collection will begin this week. Please pick up your bottle and fill it with cange, bills, or a check and return it before or on Father's Day, June 15. All proceeds will go to Care Net Pregnancy.   

Ladies Tea Party- The ladies of St. Matthew are hosting their first tea party of 2025 on Sunday, June 8, after the 9 AM Mass at St. Matthew. Come enjoy the fellowship, snacks, and hopefully beautiful weather. Little ladies are invited as well. They have their own table to enjoy getting together with other young ladies. Being a parishioner is not a requirement. All are welcome. 

Cross the Bridge for Life-  The Cross the Bridge for Life is Sunday, June 1 at 1 PM. It is at Festival Park on Riverboat Row in Newport to the left of the purple bridge. Participants can walk across the bridge with other walk participants or just stay at the festival grounds. There are free t-shirts, Kona ice, hot dogs, face painting, bands, and over 30 booths from life affirming orginazations with free gifts and information booklets. Come out and show the community that we are life affirming and show the love and help we give to mothers and families who need assistance. Don't miss this great time for all ages.
