Junior Church
Welcome to Junior Church at St. Matthew’s! Our Junior Church offers a warm and inspiring space where children can learn about Jesus, deepen their faith, and experience God’s love in a meaningful way. We are dedicated to guiding them as they grow spiritually and prepare for key moments in their faith journey, such as First Communion and Confirmation.
Through interactive lessons, engaging activities, and a strong sense of community, we help build a solid foundation of faith that will accompany them throughout their lives. Our goal is to nurture their understanding of God’s teachings while encouraging friendships and a sense of belonging within the church.
Join us in raising the next generation in God’s love and grace—register your child for Junior Church today!
First Communion
Are You Thinking About Your Child’s First Holy Communion? We’re Here to Guide You!
First Holy Communion is a very special moment in a child’s faith journey, and at St. Matthew’s, we are delighted to accompany you and your family in this important step.
Our First Holy Communion preparation classes begin every September and are designed to provide children with a thorough understanding of the Eucharist while helping them grow in their relationship with Christ. These sessions also offer opportunities for families to actively participate in the process.
First Holy Communions are celebrated in our parish during the month of June, marking the culmination of this beautiful time of preparation. We encourage you to register your child well in advance to ensure their participation in the program.
If you would like more information about the classes, registration requirements, or specific dates, we would be happy to assist you.
We are excited to share this journey of faith with you and your family!
Confirmation
Are You Considering the Sacrament of Confirmation? Let Us Walk With You!
Confirmation is a profound and transformative sacrament that marks the moment when a person deepens their relationship with Christ and receives the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, we are strengthened in our faith and called to be active witnesses of Christ in the world.
At St. Matthew’s, our Confirmation catechesis is designed to help candidates understand the significance of this sacrament, its roots in Scripture and Tradition, and its call to live a life of discipleship. These sessions provide a space for reflection, learning, and spiritual growth, ensuring that each candidate is ready to fully embrace their faith journey.
Confirmation catechesis generally begins in September and culminates with the celebration of the sacrament during the feast of Pentecost. We encourage you to register in advance to secure a place in the program.
If you or your child would like more information about the preparation process, the requirements for candidates, or the celebration itself, we are here to help.
Confirmation is a beautiful step in growing closer to God and living out your faith. We look forward to being part of this journey with you!
