Notes |
"The current St. Matthew Church was one of the first post-Vatican II churches to be constructed. It was designated to reflect the changes in the liturgy and foster a new intimacy with the service. A dedication Mass was held on May 8, 1966." [http://www.stmatthew-parish.org/page.cfm?p=852] |
