St. Matthew's FeST 2024

Each year St. Matthew’s celebrates the many talents of parishioners at our holiday craft fair, wreath and garland and bake sale known as the Festival of the Society Tree (FeST). In 2024 we are adding a BBQ lunch! All proceed are donated to local non-profits.

This event is named in honor of the efforts of the Ladies Sewing Society who in 1867 used what was then a novelty, the Christmas tree, as a way to sell their wonderful handiwork. The Society continued to raise funds for much of the architectural additions and furnishings that still grace our historic church building.

Come to FeST on Dec 7, 10am-2pm to pick up your wreath and garland pre-orders, purchase baked goods and crafts, and enjoy a BBQ lunch.

Make a FeST donation.

In the Spirit of FeST please consider making a donation, as all funds raised by Fest go directly to the direct service outreach of the parish.

Clicking this button will take you to the parish online giving portal. Please select “special funds” and write FeST in the provided memo field.
