- All public Masses, confessions and anything that leads to a public gathering are temporarily suspended at St. Matthew until April 30th: Read Bishop Caggiano’s statement here.
- St. Matthew Sunday 11am Masses and Holy Week Liturgies will be livestreamed so all can participate from your homes, and will appear on our website afterward. Our Schedule will be posted soon.

- March 27: Tune in to Pope Francis’ Urbi et Orbi blessing: Friday, March 27 at 1pm EST. The Vatican determined those who receive the Pope’s blessing through a live broadcast are eligible to receive its blessing, just as those physically present in St. Peter’s Square.
