Spotlight Ministry

- Every two weeks, we will be featuring two ministries from our parish in a Ministry Spotlight. This will allow parishioners to explore different ministry opportunities in the parish and find the right activities to use their time, talents, and treasures. We hope this will show parishioners that St. Matthew is an active parish, thriving in our faith lives, and helping our community. If you have questions about the ministry opporunities, please visit their ministry pages, where available or email bwarren@stmatthew.net.

  Bible Study
  
  Bible studies are a great way to be involved in the parish, meet new people, and deepen your faith. Currently, we have numerous bible studies going on, some in person and some virtual. Visit the bible study page for more information about current and upcoming studies. Contact Lorraine Curtin at lorraine.curtin@icloud.com or 614-946-7585 with questions.
  
  Gardening Club
  
  The Garden Ministry gives the parish grounds a little extra care to make God’s beauty shine through and shares in fellowship at the same time. We have many opportunities for volunteers: participate in one of our work days; “adopt-a-bed” with your family or group to plant and maintain on your own time; volunteer with your group (class, team, bible study, etc.) for a work day; or supervise young volunteers during a work day. We also always need people to pray for our volunteers and to thank God for the bounty of his beauty. We accept donations of perennials from your garden (contact us first, please!), monetary donations, and tools. For more information, contact Denise Maksimoski.

  Men's Group
  
  The Men's Ministry meets each Saturday morning at 7am to build fellowship and faith with other Catholic Men. The group is beginning a new session of That Man is You! on October 17. This ministry is also organizing outreach to our parishioners to keep them involved and encourage them to return to Mass in whatever capacity they feel safe. If you are interested in joining the Men's Group, please contact Brian Gatch at bgatch@hotmail.com.
  
  Charitable Works Ministry
  
  Charitable Work Ministry provides food to members of Gahanna and the surrounding communities. They had to temporarily shut down during the pandemic, but have since resumed operations and are helping people with both food and financial assistance. They have also opened up new volunteer opportunities on Thursday evenings from 6-8pm and one Saturday morning each month. If you are interested in getting involved with Charitable Works Ministry, please visit their website. You can also email them at cwm@stmatthew.net or visit the sign up genius page to volunteer.
