Come to Fest, Dec 6, 10-2pm for all the festivities!

St. Matthew's FeST 2025

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).

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 6, 10am-2pm to pick up your wreath and garland pre-orders, purchase baked goods and handmade crafts.

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.
