GET READY, GET SET!


St. Matthew’s Annual Festival is fast approaching! Our hope is that you, promising three days, frolic, and festivities from August 8 to August 11, 2025. This year, the festival promises to be bigger, better, and bolder than ever before.

Our wish is that you, your family and friends will join us for fun-filled weekend, of great entertainment, good food, lots of games and raffles for all ages, as well as fellowship with old and new friends.

During the festival, we have the Mega 50/50 raffle, which is no wonder it's a hit in our community. In recent years, this Mega 50/50 has continued to grow. Last year, the pot reached an amazing $41,700!  With your help, we hope to exceed that total for Festival 2025. In addition to our three early-bird bonus drawings, should you buy or sell the grand prize-winning ticket, an additional bonus of $ 500 will be awarded. Helping us sell these MEGA 50/50s will surely build the pot and meet this year's goal of $45,000. Be sure to purchase your tickets at the Parish Office starting in June. The festival is chock-full of raffles, each one more exciting than the last. So, don't forget to try your luck-you might just walk away a prize or two!

The festival has an array of attractions that will keep you entertained throughout. At sunset prepare to be mesmerized by the live entertainment, with music that will have you dancing the night away. There will also be a lot of fun for children and youth people.

Now, let's talk about food! Prepare to embark on a culinary journey as you indulge in delectable international cuisine whipped up by the church parishioners. From mouth-watering appetizers to sinfully delicious desserts, there's a dish to satisfy every palate.

The St. Matthew Festival is not an event, it's an experience. It is a place where community spirit comes alive, where laughter fills the air, and where memories are made. So, mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and get ready to immerse yourself in a world of joy and jubilation.

With your support, and thanks to your generosity, we are able to help so many people in our parish family and community through our many ministries.


May God continue to bless you and your family,
