Help Us Welcome Msgr. Pat Ragsdale! ❤️

Please join us in welcoming Msgr. Pat Ragsdale to the St. Matthew family!

Msgr. Pat was ordained a priest on October 27, 1972, and is an alumnus of Assumption Seminary. After many years of faithful priestly service, Msgr. Pat will be retiring at the end of September and, beginning October 1st, will join us as our Retired Priest in Residence.

We are truly blessed to welcome him into our parish community. We look forward to his presence, wisdom, and continued ministry among us.

Welcome to St. Matthew, Msgr. Pat! We are so happy and grateful to have you with us! ❤️

✨Today's Gospel Outlook ✨
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus reminds us to address conflict with love. Speak directly, seek help when necessary, and know when to let go. Sometimes we have difficult conversations not to hurt someone, but because we love them.

Save the Date for the Big Give!

September 23 at 6:00 PM through September 24 at 6:00 PM marks a critical 24-hour fundraising initiative for St. Matthew Catholic Church.

Our multi-purpose community bus—which our seniors, youth ministry, and various parish ministries rely on for transportation—is beyond repair and is no longer operable. Members of our parish family depend entirely on this vehicle to access weekly activities, youth events, ministry events, and to attend Mass.

Our goal for the Big Give is $50,000 to secure a dependable replacement vehicle. Together, we can ensure our community remains connected in faith and fellowship.
