On Sunday, November 16th our parish family was treated to a special fellowship hour prepared by our Ethiopian and Eritrean members. By an act of providence, the date we selected fell on the feast of Apostle and Evangelist Matthew, who brought the gospel to East Africa as part of his apostolic vocation (learn more HERE). We were blessed to share in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of one of the many cultures that constitutes our ethnically diverse parish family - and by popular demand, we plan on making this an annual event! A special thanks to those who prepared and served the meal, as well as those that prepared the special coffee and tea that was enjoyed by all - thank you!
