Saint Matthew Courtyard
21+ Event
For more than 30 years, Saint Matthew has ministered to the Haitian community of Gobert through a partnership with Our Lady of Miracles parish and sister chapels. These parishes serve approximately 25,000 people and are located in a northern, rural area of Haiti.
Our continued support, alongside the leadership of Father Nicolas Floréal and Dr. Librice, the doctor at the Gobert clinic, is helping the community meet its medical, physical, spiritual and educational needs.
Our largest annual fundraiser, Well Played: A Songwriters’ Night, is now in its 16th year. Last year’s event, held in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of Saint Matthew School, had a special focus on education. Through the incredible generosity of sponsors and donors, we raised a record $64,000+! Those funds, are allowing us to build four additional classrooms as well as provide windows and doors for the school.
This year, we are excited to welcome Patrick Murphy to Songwriters’ Night. A rising Nashville singer-songwriter signed with Warner Records Nashville, Patrick brings heartfelt storytelling, authentic country sounds, and a passion for connecting with audiences through his music. Check back and click below for artist bios as additional songwriters are confirmed.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and our Saint Matthew Music Ministry opens the evening with a special performance at 6:45.
NEW THIS YEAR your ticket includes a BBQ sandwiches and chips, in addition to beer and wine. You are welcome to bring in additional or alternative food. Thank you to pit-master Adam Richter for smoking the meat for the event. Please note, food trucks will not be present this year.
This event is adults only as beer and wine are included with your ticket. No outside alcohol is allowed.
Join us on Saturday, September 12, for an unforgettable evening of music, fellowship, and support for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Tickets will be available soon!
