Connect with Saint Matthew's!
Saint
Matthew's wants to help you get connected to God and to our community.
We regularly offer special evening "Connect" events, where people who
are new to our community can meet, network and learn about all that St.
Matthew's has to offer. This is a great way to meet some cool new people
and really get a sense of our community's welcoming spirit. Our
next "Connect" evening is September 12. For more
information or if you'd like to attend, please contact
The Reverend Michael Seiler in the Parish Office at
310/573-7787 ext.
123 or via email.
