Saint Matthew Catholic Church

Russell dedicated the new building [our church]. Old Saint Matthew's was built in 1907 on Hardy Ave., Berkley, Virginia, on donated land.

On Mother’s Day, Father Peter blessed all mothers in attendance. Let us continue to pray for all mothers—living and deceased—for their love, sacrifice, and faithful witness. May God bless them with peace, strength, and abundant grace.

This weekend, we celebrate Pentecost, often called the birthday of the Church.
Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the “Advocate.” The Latin word for lawyer is “advocatus.” Like a lawyer, the Holy Spirit defends and guides us.
So, when you’re in trouble, don’t forget — ask for your lawyer, and do what he tells you.
See you at Mass!
