Feastday: St Matthew the Apostle

by Donrita Reefman - Pastoral Coordinator

This Tuesday, September 21st, is the feast day of St Matthew, the Apostle - the patron saint of accountants, Italy, bankers and tax collectors. Go to this website to explore more about St Matthew, including activities to do as a family.
We pray:

O God, who with untold mercy were pleased
to choose as an Apostle Saint Matthew,
the tax collector, grant that,
sustained by his example and intercession,
we may merit to hold firm
in following you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
