Dear beloved St. Matthew family, I give thanks to God in my prayer as I recall the many blessings He has poured out on the St. Matthew parish family these last eleven years. I am grateful for the many lives that welcomed me in during my pastoral time with the joys and the sorrows, the doubts and the questions, from the beginnings of faith in the waters of Baptism to the culmination in last rites and commendation of our beloved dead back to God and all the sacred moments in between. I am so grateful for the meals shared, the stories told, and the jokes groaned over. For all the troubles and issues present over the years, I choose to remember the tender mercies more and treasure the graces poured out by the Lord. The parish family has grown both in size and in inclusion of the many diverse people who live here. Thank you for sharing your lives and your hearts with me. I carry them in my prayer back to the Lord for his blessing. Until we meet again, whether in this life or the next, may God hold you in the palm of His hand and fill you with His peace. Peace and all good things, Fr. Kevin
