Welcome to the Catholic Community of Saint Matthias in Somerset, NJ!
Parish Mission Statement
We, the faith community of St. Matthias, formed in the spirit and mission of Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic tradition, gather in the celebration of the Eucharist to give witness to the presence of the Risen Lord in our lives.
As a diverse people journeying together in faith, we are growing in awareness of the pain and joy of our brothers and sisters and desire to live in a spirit of repentance and reconciliation.
As disciples, rooted in God's Word and sacraments, we are awakened to the needs of others and share our time, treasure and talent in our faith community and beyond.
Empowered by the Spirit, we meet the challenges of the Kingdom of God and move forward in God's justice and hope.

Beauty Ever Ancient, Beauty Ever New: The History of the Mass
Below are the slides from Fr. Nick for sessions 1 and sessions 2.
Fr. Nick, was unable to cover the whole two thousand year history of the Mass and has graciously said he would have a session 3.
This will most likely occur sometime in January.
Watch our web site and the church bulletin for time and date.
THANK YOU FR. NICK

“I should like you to be free of anxieties.” 1 Cor. 7: 32
As I began to reflect on today’s Scripture readings, it occurred to me
that this time last year I was also writing for the bulletin. As I wonder just what
to write, it’s ironic that outside my window here in Belmar, it is snowing. However,
the snow that is falling today is nothing in comparison to what we experienced
last year at this time! Talk about anxieties! New job, record breaking
snow, blown budget!
