St. Matthew the Apostle Church


Our Pastor, Father Theodore Sill, and his staff would like to welcome you to our St. Matthew the Apostle Church website. It contains a wealth of information including our mission, our message, our goals, and our plans for future. You can learn about one of our many diverse ministries or committees and even sign up to volunteer online. In addition, we post our current church bulletin and monthly calendar for your convenience. You can also access our school, parish school of religion, and other Catholic sites via the provided links. Our hope is this website will provide guidance in making informed and faith-filled choices regarding joining and actively participating in our parish. Our journey at St. Matthew the Apostle Parish began in April 1959, when Bishop Clarence Issenmann of the Diocese of Columbus purchased 11.5 acres of land on Havens Corners Road in Gahanna, Ohio. From that day forward, our parish mission became our parishioner’s life work. As we move forward and plan for the future, we can reflect joyfully at an inspiring past. In the areas of worship, education, fellowship, and outreach, the parish has responded to the needs of a growing community of faithful Catholics throughout its forty-year history. St. Matthew Parish is more than just a name, a location on a map, or just a group of buildings. We are a family of faith made up of individuals that love God and their fellow human beings. This is evident by the wide variety of ministries, services, and outreach programs sponsored by our parish. These programs are here because St. Matthew parishioners have a strong commitment to their faith and their neighbors. This commitment to God and family is the lifeblood of St. Matthew. Today, we are a vibrant parish community of over 2,500 families and growing. Our school, religious education program, and faith-based initiatives are among the best in the Diocese. And we are proud of our continued improvement of our campus and facilities. We close with our motto, St. Matthew the Apostle Church: One Parish... One Family... One Journey.
