Saint Matthews Parish

You are invited to the second annual St. Matthew’s Feast Day dinner to be held on Saturday, September 27, 2008, at 6:15 PM in Heritage Hall. When Jesus met Levi, as St. Matthew was formerly known, he asked him to ‘Come Follow Me’. St. Matthew agreed, but insisted Jesus and his followers first come to his home for a great feast. We will be recreating that meal and invite you to join us in reminiscing about our parish’s twenty year history.

The cost is $40 per person; attendance is limited to St. Matthew’s parishioners age 21 and older. Make your reservation by calling Suzanne Caputo 973-543-2031 or emailing her at sgcaputo@aol.com. You will be placed on a waiting list until your payment is received. Drop your check in the box in the Gathering Space or mail it to Suzanne Caputo, 2 Fieldcrest Court, Mendham, NJ 07945. Space is limited so reserve your spot early.

St. Matthew’s invites everyone to come to our Parish Ministry Fair after all the masses on Sat. 9/6 and Sun. 9/7 in Heritage Hall. Come meet your fellow parishioners and see for yourself what all our ministries are about. Enjoy some coffee, juice, and snacks. Feel free to peruse the tables, ask questions, and sign up, if you wish. Maybe you have thought about becoming Read the rest of this entry »

Are you in high school or college, or are you an adult?  Do you play an instrument?  Then we have a niche for you!  St. Matthew’s is looking for instrumentalists to join the Teen and Adult choirs.  Winds, strings, guitars, and keyboardists are welcome in both choirs.  Rehearsals are Thursday nights during the school year.  Now, right before our summer break, is the perfect time to tell us you’re interested - we’ll have the summer to get everything ready so that you can easily start up with us in September.  Please see Matt by the piano after any mass for more details!
