St. Matthew Catholic Church at 1991 Overlook Dr., Winter Haven, FL 33884 US - Making a Difference

The parish of St. Matthew offers numerous opportunities, at the parish level, in our neighborhood and beyond, for individual spiritual growth as well as for community service. We live the Gospel through prayer and action and strive to make a difference in our world. Christian Meditation prayer groups, Eucharist adoration in the Chapel, Scripture study, Marian devotion prayer group, parish retreats, a Prayer and Praise group, and prayers of the Rosary provide numerous choices for individual spiritual development. Within the parish, the Altar Guild, Bereavement Team, book & video library, coffee and donut servers, grounds, electrical or painting assistance are only a few examples of how members are united in parish activities. In the Winter Haven area, members of St. Matthew Catholic Church operate a Thrift Shop, visit the sick and homebound in hospitals and nursing homes. Another example of how we live the Gospel in our community is by the year-round donation of non-perishable food to Catholic Charities and the Fostering with Love program whereby the entire parish supports foster parents. Members also represent the church's presence during prayer vigils outside of the prison during prisoner executions. These are examples of some of the ways that the members of St. Matthew Catholic Church strive to be ambassadors of The Light of The World. More information is available at MINISTRIES on this website or at the church office.
