Upcoming Events
Bible Study--Foundations of Faith Journey through the Catechism.
- We invite you to discover the heart and soul of our Catholic beliefs through an amazing video series titled Foundations of Faith: A Journey Through the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This series provides a thoughtful yet approachable way to explore the breadth of Catholicism for both those beginning to explore the faith and those seeking a deeper understanding. The weekly series will start on September 17 and meet every Wednesday from 7pm to 8:30pm in the Community Center Conference room. For more information or to register for the study, see Our Parish Bulletin. We hope you can join us!
Sacramental Preparation Sign-up on September 6th and 7th
- Sign-up after all the Masses at both St. Mark and St. Matthew. Please plan to sign up for preparation for the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. We also invite you to sign-up for "Becoming Catholic" for both children and adults who are not already Catholic but are interested in entering into the Catholic Church.
Knights of Columbus Big Filipino Breakfast on September 14th.
- St. Matthew Knights of Columbus will hold it's first fundraising event for 2025 from 9am to 12 noon in the Community Center. Tickets are available through the parish office.
Our parish family of St. Mark and St. Matthew is ready
to begin a strategic pastoral planning process. We will be following the Partners in the Gospel process called the One Parish Plan (OPP). The planning process will start in earnest in early 2026 and be completed in 2028. The One Parish Plan will address several questions:
· Who are we?
· What do we want to become?
· How do we get there?
· What should we be called?
To guide the process, Fr. Ross will be appointing a Parish Family Advisory Council. Think of it as the pastoral council for the parish family of St. Mark and St. Matthew. 9-12 parishioners will be selected to serve on the Council. Applications should be completed by the end of September with the selection happening in October. There will likely be monthly meetings starting in November 2025 along with several listening sessions over the 2+ year period. Please prayerfully consider your interest and pray for the work of this important council.
If you are interested in serving on the Parish Family Advisory Council, or wish to nominate someone, please click here for the nomination form. Forms will also be available in the entry to the church.
Partners in the Gospel Parish Family 12 UPDATE
Our Parish Family's search for a Director of Operations (DOO) was a smashing success! I am thrilled to announce that Julianna D'Angelo has accepted the potion of DOO. The DOO is a new position for our Parish Family--a position which will be critical in helping us come together as one Parish Family in the Partners in the Gospel Initiative.
Juliana is a familiar face with 2 daughters attending St. Mark Classical School, as well as serving as the CYO Athletic Directo for St. Mark and St. Matthew. She brings extensive professional experience in accounting and business practices. In Juliana's own words:
"As financial executive and strategic consultant, I have built my 20-year career around helping companies and business owners solve problems and get their companies to a place of financial stability and optimized operations. To be able to use what I've learned from my professional background to aid in getting our Parish Family to a place of operational and financial strength, and bring our Parish Family together is a humbling endeavor I am most honored to participate in. With the help of God--I know we will get there."
At the same time, I want to profoundly thank our Parish Administrators Tood Chapman and Linda Haptonstall for serving many faithful years in their roles as Parish Administrators (PAA). The DOO position will take on many of the administrative duties as the PAA positions come to an end. We are grateful for Linda & Todd's service and look forward to celebrating them individually in this transition. Linda' final day is still to be determined. Todd's final day will be September 18th, 2025. Please join me in welcoming Julianna to our Parish Family as well as thanking Linda and Todd for their years of service!
