💙✨ Celebrating 71 Years of Faith, Learning and Community ✨💙

On May 31, we gathered to honor the incredible 71-year legacy of St. Matthew School. With more than 400 attendees, including founding families, alumni spanning every decade, former teachers and staff and current families, it was a special celebration of the people and memories that have shaped our school community.

The day started by celebrating Mass and then gathering together for food and friends. It was filled with joy, connection, gratitude and stories that reminded us of the lasting impact of St. Matthew School.

Thank you to everyone who made the celebration special and all who joined us in celebrating St. Matthew School. 💙⚡
