Men of St. Matthew's
All male parishioners are members of the Men of St. Matthew's. Volunteers organize spring and fall clean up for the Property Commission. Volunteers also organize the All Parish Picnic in June, the Haunted Hike spaghetti supper in October, and help with the Mardi Gras party. There is always room for active volunteers.
The Men of St. Matthew's Breakfasts have become a popular activity open to all men in the parish. Held on the third Saturday of every month (September through June) from 7:30 to 8:45, and every Saturday in the Fellowship Room during Lent, the format entails informal discussion on topics of interest. At each meeting, a participant leads the discussion.
Another favorite event for many men in normal times is the occasional Blazer Restaurant Lunch held on a weekday and frequently attended by John Zahl or Drew Courtright.
With the requirements of "church at a distance," during the restrictions necessitated by COVID-19, the Men's Breakfast moved to meeting virtually in the spring and summer. On Sept. 19 at 7:30 a.m., the Men's Breakfast will resume on Zoom. Please email Eric Parsons or Ian MacLean if you wish to join the group so that they can send you Zoom invitation closer to the meeting date.
