Parish Gatherings

Join us for our regular parish gatherings and community events. For a full list of upcoming events, please visit our Events page or view our church calendar.

Our board game group meets on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 5:00 PM at St. Matthew’s, and welcomes players of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re an advanced gamer or brand new beginner, we’ll have a table that’s right for you. Hang out with us afterward around the firepit.

The Faith & Film Club meets to watch and discuss films of excellent artistry and significant cultural contribution, but which also offer a commentary or point of dialogue with the Christian life. We view these films as a community, and then discuss their composition, meaning, and impact as we seek to grow together in a thoughtful, Christian engagement with culture. Previous films have included: Minari, Spirited Away, Of Gods and Men, Babette's Feast, and Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Please subscribe to the St. Matthew’s weekly newsletter for updates on our next film.

In order to create space for rest, reflection, prayer, and meditation, we host monthly retreats on the last Saturday of each month at the church. We begin with Morning Prayer, followed by a meditation and time of silence, and conclude with Mass.
