Marriage:

To marry at St. Matthew Church, one of the participants must be a registered member of the parish (if you are over 21 years of age, you must be registered, we do not count your parents’ registration.) At least four months in advance of the wedding, the engaged couple is to call the rectory and request a marriage booklet. After the couple has read the booklet and returned the information sheet, they may call the rectory to make an appointment with the priest to discuss the preparation process. The wedding date will be set at the time of the initial meeting with the priest.

Saturdays — 4 p.m. until all are heard, or by appointment.

Visitation of the Sick:

When a family member is ill or hospitalized, please contact the Rectory. You may call the Rectory during office hours to have a name place in the bulletin under prayers for the sick. Fr. usually visits hospitals on Fridays to see parishioners who are ill, but also be aware that a hospital chaplain is present to provide sacraments as well. If it is necessary to have a loved one anointed, please call the Rectory Office. If a priest is not available, we will contact another priest to provide the sacraments.
