In 2015 the people of St. Matthew’s decided that it is time. It is time to look beyond our walls, beyond our own lives and reach out to people far away living in despair and hopelessness. There are people thousands of miles away, unable to live in their own homes, forced to flee and to rely on the handouts of aid agencies. We have been involved in refugee sponsorship since then, and are looking forward to welcoming our newest refugee in Fall 2026.
