Dear St. Matthew’s Elementary School Families,

The Thanksgiving Holiday is coming up on Monday (October 10, 2022).  We have so much to be thankful here at St. Matthew’s:  a wonderful community, our faith in God and the presence of God’s greatest blessing:  your children.  I pray that you and your family enjoy a day of joy, rest and true leisure as you thank God from whom all blessings flow!

Sincerely in Christ,
