St Matthias Church

🌟 Cultivating Sacred Encounters: The St. Matthias' Vision 🌟

Just as St. Matthias was chosen to carry forward the apostolic mission, St. Matthias Catholic Church stands ready to transform lives through authentic encounters with Christ. Today, we invite you to join us in an extraordinary mission of renewal and evangelization.

The mission of St. Matthias the Apostle Catholic Church is “Forming and empowering disciples to better Know, Love, and Serve God personally and in community.”

Our Vision for this fundraiser: Creating Space for Divine Encounters

We're not just maintaining a building – we're cultivating sacred ground where hearts are transformed. Your support will help us:

✨ Transforming our classroom to a place of retreat.

We envision transforming our classroom space from a traditional, sterile setting into a cozy, welcoming environment that feels like home. Our goal is to create a nurturing atmosphere filled with warmth and comfort where everyone feels at home.  

By incorporating soft furnishings, warm colors, and personal touches, we’ll design spaces that invite conversation and connection. Comfortable seating arrangements and cozy corner nooks will encourage parishioners to engage with one another and delve deeper into their faith. This transformation aims to instill a sense of belonging, making our classrooms not just places for learning but sacred spaces for spiritual growth and community.

We hope to transform the space based on our different liturgical seasons as well as the type of programming.  We would use different themes for ChristLife, Alpha, Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA), and Whole Family Catechesis.  We want to make the space warm, exciting, and inspiring.  

 🧨Exploding our Tuesday Night Teachings 

• We want to continue to offer the best programming, series, and speakers available. 

• Begin to have paid advertising campaigns to reach people who are away from the faith or just haven’t found a parish to call home.  

• Tuesday Night Teachings are a great way to introduce someone to our faith.  

👋Reach Beyond Our Walls

• Continue to develop programming from our studio, including teachings, witnessing, and interviews with our different parishioners and ministries.  

• Highlight other exciting movements in our diocese.  

• Expand our social media presence to connect with those seeking faith and community, with the goal always being to get people onto our campus for different events so that they can meet our warm, welcoming, and wonderful parishioners.  

😇Embrace the Eucharistic Revival Through our "Walk with One" initiative, we're inviting everyone to experience the transformative power of Christ in the Eucharist. Your gift helps create disciples who:

• Training parishioners to be leaders at the forefront of evangelization 

• Root our lives in Sacred Scripture and Tradition

• Embrace the sacramental life

• Build meaningful friendships and fellowship 

• Share our time, talent, and treasure with the Church and others

• Share their faith naturally and joyfully

Your Gift's Impact Every dollar invested helps create a space where people encounter Christ, lives are transformed, and disciples are made. Together, we can build a spiritual home where everyone experiences the joy of knowing Jesus.

Will you help us transform hearts and lives? Your generous contribution to We Give Catholic makes you a vital part of this sacred mission.

Together, let us become a beacon of Christ's light in our community.
