Flocknote introduces a smarter way for parishes to text message and email their members. As a Flocknote church, we will be able to reach all of you at a moment's notice, in your inboxes and via text message. There’s nothing for you
to download or pick up after church.
By organizing our church into different groups and ministries on Flocknote, we can get information to exactly who needs it at the right time! Plus, you will be able to reply directly to any email or text message you receive via
Flocknote, vote in polls, RSVP to events, and more! Interested?

St. Matthew Catholic Church
2310 1st Ave NE
6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Speaker: Jenny Chadima
Jenny Chadima found herself lost, hopeless, and in the dark after her father’s death. She turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, only to find things getting worse. After hearing a whisper from God, she realized she needed to come back to church for help and healing. It was through helping others and finding time in quiet prayer that she started to encounter God in a very personal way.
A lite meal will be served.
Child care will be available.
This event is FREE and ALL are welcome.
