How has Covid Changed Us

During the summer months we hope to be doing Mass on the Grass as long as the weather cooperates. When the weather is not so great we will go inside the Church with. Our beautiful building is old and has no air ventilation, therefore all indoor services at this time will require masks to be worn.

When we are inside for worship we are live-stream our services. Please join in our worship opportunities.

Love God, Love Your Neighbor...Practice Kindness, it's contagious... and... wash your hands. We will return to our regular worship when it is safe to do so.

We are grateful, at St. Matthew’s, to have parishioners who speak languages other than English.

Some of our Indigenous members have volunteered through the years to lead the Lord’s Prayer or the Nicene Creed, for example, in the language of their hearts – perhaps the first language they learned as babies…the language spoken in their homes…

We invite parishioners to pray in the ‘language of their hearts’ – which may be English, or Koyukon, or Gwich’in, or French, or Spanish, or... Hearing the familiar words prayed in a language other than our own, simultaneously, brings a sense of fullness, that enhances our worship.
