Baptismal Bibs
Baptismal bibs are hand-embroidered garments prepared for use during the Sacrament of Baptism and then given to the family as a remembrance of the occasion. While volunteers with good embroidering skills are needed, there are also other simpler tasks involved. Bibs can be embroidered at home, but once a year volunteers come together to prepare the entire year’s supply of bibs for embroidery.

Funeral Luncheons
The St. Matthew Funeral Luncheon Committee has a sizeable core of workers ready to provide lunches or brunches for families of the deceased and an extended list of volunteers willing to contribute salads or desserts for the funeral meal. Families are grateful for this gesture of kindness during a difficult time. Parishioners who volunteer to serve on this ministry will be called to offer assistance but if there is no answer, a message will not be left. Instead, the next volunteer on the list will be called given the short amount of time (usually less than two days) prior to the funeral meal.
