St. Matthew’s is filled with young children, especially at the 9:00am and 11:00am Sunday Masses. We appreciate the effort parents make to bring children to Mass and encourage you to relax and feel at home–even on the days when your children are at their most challenging. Children often understand more than we give them credit for, and can respond to beauty and reverence. If we are welcoming and model joy in our worship, they will know that church is a place where good things happen!
