WELCOME TO HALLOW
St. Matthew’s is thrilled to announce our partnership with Hallow, the #1 prayer app! Through prayer and meditation rooted in the Catholic faith, Hallow helps people grow closer to God and find peace, everyday. [Users can pray alongside Fr. Mike, Sr. Miriam, Mark Wahlberg, Jonathan Roumie, + many more. The app also offers mental health and sleep content, audiobooks, and sacred music.]
All parishioners are invited to be a part of our St. Matthew’s parish page. There, you’re able to create a profile, share prayer requests with our St. Matthew’s community, and take part in prayer challenges together.

Now, let's turn our challenges into our testimonies!
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to see you again next year!
