Rooted here.
Still serving here.

Saint Matthew has been part of North St. Louis since 1901. The school closed in 2016, but its alumni—and the faith shared across generations—remain an active part of church life.

Members serve through parish education, fellowship, social ministry, evangelism, outreach, the altar guild, ushers, elders, stewardship, and the care of the church property.
