Saint Matthew the Apostle Parish

Set aside Wednesday, March 24! The final session of Seeing With New Eyes: Moment of Encounter will highlight the art of one of the best know German painters, Father Sieger Köder.  The evening of discussion and reflection will center on two of his transformative paintings, “The Woman at the Well” and “The Last Supper.” Köder’s life has greatly influenced his extraordinary works. During World War II, he was captured and held prisoner in France.  When freed from captivity at the war’s end, he began the study of art which led to twelve years as an art teacher. Realizing that he was called to the priesthood, he began studies culminating in his ordination in 1971. The next thirty years were spent in parish ministry.  (He is now living in retirement in Germany.) Our gathering will be facilitated by parish members and begin at 7:30 p.m. in Heritage Hall. Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome to attend. For further information, Karen Loveys, jbloveys [a-t] aol [dot] com, 973-543-4191.
