Social Concerns — St. Matthew Catholic Community

Social Concerns Committee

Social Concerns, according to the Archdiocesan Secretariat of Catholic Charities, recognizes that, not only is it important to assist our neighbors in their time of immediate need, but to also walk beside them and probide the tools they may need on their journey to rise about their current situations.

Did you know we have a Social Concerns Committee that organizes support for our community? They organize a 2nd collection at Mass on the 2nd Sunday of each month, to support a cause near and dear to our hearts.

If you would like to nominate a charity to receive 2nd on 2nd donations, please complete and return

this form.

Meeting are held every 1st Monday of the month at 5:30-6:30pm in the Parish Office
