Our quality assurance team
We at Saint Matthew highly value Mass that is celebrated in accordance with the highest quality standards and in accordance with the correct liturgical methods. This is, essentially, the QA Department for worship. These folks assure the liturgies and celebrations are done right and that the church and vestments are properly prepared for seasonal changes of the church (especially during Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter). If you are a perfectionist and you like things done right, welcome to your world!

Creating awareness for our earthly home
This group’s purpose is to create awareness in our congregation about caring for our earthly home. This ministry will be providing information on energy efficiency, decreasing consumption and waste within our church campus and what we can do in our own homes. We will give practical information on the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We will also look at the spiritual aspect of environmental stewardship as a call from our Creator to care for the Earth.
