Regional Ministries

From time to time, the circumstances of life take us out of our usual rhythms. When that happens, the disruptions to our familiar patterns can snowball rapidly. The most unfortunate way this happens is when we are prevented from being with our church community and from receiving the grace of the sacraments. It is for this reason that the church takes very seriously the ministry of Visitation. If you or someone you know is prevented from being at church on Sunday for the Eucharist and fellowship, if they could use a visit from our pastoral staff to bring them Communion, Anointing, or just friendly conversation, we are ready and eager to provide what is needed. To request a visit for yourself or for someone you know, please reach out to one of the following people as soon as the need arises and we will quickly respond to make the arrangements.

The South County Fellowship Group meets at 6pm on the fourth Monday of the month alternating between homes in Irvine and Laguna Niguel. This group is open to anyone who wants to come and families are welcome. We begin with Evening Prayer with dinner to follow and time to enjoy each other’s company. Please email Dcn. Andrew here if you would like to join.

Theology on Tap

St. Matthew's mission in North San Diego County is reaching out to the Oceanside community via a monthly "Theology on Tap" gathering where we discuss important issues in life such as faith, meaning, and eternity. This ministry is offered as a witness to the historic apostolic faith, but is open to all who want to engage in a friendly discussion of these topics. For more information, including the details of our next meeting, please visit the website or contact Joel West.
