Father Donlon
-
- Welcome to St. Matthew Parish
web site. I would like to take a few minutes of your time to
share with you our Third Millennium vision for St. Matthew Parish.
-
- In the old days "church"
was seen as a building, filled with priests and sisters who made
the rules and made the decisions for the parishioners who came
and sat quietly in the pews.
-
-
- Here at St. Matthew we have
outgrown this model. Instead, we see ourselves in the Vatican
II view. Our Church is the People of God. Laity, Sisters, and
Priests all serve various functions as called by the grace of
God to further the plan of God for our community and our World.
We are the People of God, each called to complete our certain
work in this place and at this time. We invite you to peruse
this web site and evaluate your own God-given time and God-given
talent, and then consider the role you might choose to play in
the life of your parish community.
-
- May God bless the work of our
hands.
-
- James W. Donlon
