I would like to remind folks out there that Mother's Day is fast approaching. Have you thought about your Mother today? Well, if not, you better not forget her when May 11th rolls around!

As many of our parishoners now know, Fr. Bill McBride has accepted the call to become our new Priest at St. Matthias. I believe that I can speak for all St. Matthias parishoners when I say that we are excited by this turn of events!

Attention, all EYC members!

The St. Matthias EYC will be having an outing to Ford Park to play a round of Frisbee golf, no golf shoes required...

I am saddened to report that the Reverend Canon Robert Kenwood Cooper, our former Curate and Priest of St. Matthias parish, passed away on Friday the 8th of February around 7:00pm in the evening. Fr. Cooper was a blessing and more to our parish during his tenure here. I don't think I will ever be able to forget the image of him walking into the parish hall in his black shirt, collar, black dress shoes, black socks, and shorts. He was (and still is) a man who commands a large presence. He will be missed.

For more information on Fr. Cooper, please see the link below.

Bible study is offered at 9 a.m. in the McMichael room. Everyone is invited to participate in this group as we study what I (and others) consider the most exciting book of the New Testament, if not the whole Bible, "The Acts of the Apostles ". This is the story of the first years of the Church, with Peter and Paul as the main characters. We invite you to come and join us and see for yourself - and bring a friend!

I look forward to sharing the word of the Lord with you!
