Monsignor Mesure and the St. Matthias Renovation
Project Committee are making plans for an All Parish

In advance of this Kickoff there will be Pacesetter Pastor
Receptions on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 from 7-
8:30 PM and Monday, November 12, 2018 from 7-8:30
PM both in the Convent Building. These events are for
parishioners who may be in a position to help ignite the

as possible will consider this opportunity to help launch
the campaign and inspire all of us to greater heights. Tours
of the Convent will take place during this event.
No one will be asked to make their pledge at the reception
but everyone will receive a pledge form and will be asked
to return it as soon as possible. Volunteers are also ready
to schedule appointments to meet with parishioners in
their home.
Anyone wishing to attend should call Peggy Haley at the

“It is the presence of the Lord, who reveals Himself
and the gift of grace, that will render marriage full
and profoundly true” – Pope Francis
Couples Married Civilly
Have you thought about getting married
in the Catholic Church?
Catholics who exchange vows in the presence of
ministers from other religious traditions or civil
officials are not considered validly married in the eyes
of the Catholic Church. We invite you to bring new
meaning to your lives by embracing the vocation of
marriage and dedicating your family’s mission to
sharing God’s love.

through the Sacrament of Marriage
