Diocesan Day of Reflection for Black Catholics
The Diocese of Metuchen's Office of Multicultural Ministry is holding a Day of Reflection in preparation for the National Black Catholic Congress XIII. The theme is “Write the Vision: A Prophetic Call to Thrive.” Black Catholics from all parishes are invited to attend this event at St. Matthias Parish in Somerset, NJ on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM. The day will include prayer and praise, personal reflection, group listening and reflection. Guided by the Holy Spirit; it will culminate in the collective wisdom of the people of God. Diocesan delegates will then present the plan to the National Congress. There will be no charge to attend, but registration is required. The deadline to register is April 15, 2023.

Last year, because of Covid, we did not have our famous Tricky Tray or the parish Carnival. This left the school with nearly a $100K deficit for the last school year. We are on track for the same scenario this year. We'll see about the Carnival, but it ain’t lookin’ good so far. So our School Advisory Council set up an online fund on the famous GoFundMe site, managed by one of our HSA parents, Michael Santiago. We are just over 10% of the way to our goal. You can donate with PayPal or a credit card. Remember, donations are tax deductible. To donate, just press the 'Donate now' buttons to the left, or go to gofundme.com, hit “search” in the upper left, type “st matthew edison” and select “St. Matthew School Fund.” Thank you for all you do to support our school, including Tuition Angel collections!
Our Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and Kindergarten programs are where your child will learn the critical thinking skills for the future.
