Support Our Back to School Drive!

Join members of St. Matthew's Cathedral Social Justice Ministry after all Masses on August 3-4 as we hold our annual back to school drive to benefit low income parish students & families.

St. Matthew's Cathedral Adopt a Family program helps low income families in the parish & local community at Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, & as children go back to school in August. Helping students stay ahead by providing families with necessary school equipment is one small way we can help bridge the education gap, & give children a solid foundation for educational success.

Please consider bringing the following items to Mass on August 3-4 to help students in need:
  • Backpacks
  • Binders (1.5-2 inch)
  • Wide & College ruled notebooks
  • Compass & protractor
  • Boxes of Crayons 
  • Blue and Black Pens
  • No. 2 Pencils
  • Child-safe Scissors
A full list of needed items can be found by clicking here

Monetary donations will also be collected for the Adopt a Family Back to School Drive. If you wish to donate online, please click here, & write "Back to School Drive" in the note section

We also need help on the nights of August 6, 8, and 10 (at 7:00pm each night) with assembling backpacks and distributing them to recipient families. Interested in helping out? Email Norma Canedo for more information

Thank you for your generosity!
