Our Parish appreciates the weekly donations from Parishioners at each Mass. Your gift of contributing financially to the St Matthew's Parish, opens the Church doors, helps us with our operational costs such as payment of utilities, our wages, and supports the ministry works we do. A vibrant community reflects the faith of the people within, and by sharing our financial resources our Parish community can grow.
At St Matthew’s we have two areas of responsibility our Parish must financially cover, and we appreciate very much our Parishioners and Friends who assist us by contributing financially to our Parish Operational Cost and Parish Maintenance.
We are grateful to those who wish to make donations to our Parish.
