LISTENING SESSION
TUESDAY, JUNE 14TH
7:00PM IN THE GREAT ROOM
You are invited to share your thoughts, feelings and hopes for St. Matthew Church at a
Listening Session with Msgr. Walter and the
St. Matthew Synod Commission.
The purpose is for us to listen to your input –
your opinions, reflections, and comments
about St. Matthew. This will help us plan for
and envision the future of our Parish as we
implement the Synod Initiatives. Tell us what
you think...
· What are we doing well - our strengths and
best practices?
· What are we already doing that could we
improve upon, do better or tweak?
· What are we not doing - what are we
missing that we should consider doing?
All are welcome! Your input is important
because it will be used to help us discern
together how we go forward as a Parish to
experience true spiritual renewal.
Those who are unable to attend can make
their voices heard by dropping off a written
response to the office or email
stmattparish@hotmail.com.
