Upcoming Special Events

Throughout the year, St. Matthew’s hosts a variety of unique events. Please visit our site frequently to see what is up and coming.

Souper Sundays

Our last Souper Sunday, until the fall, will be Sunday, April 28. It will also be the Sunday that St. Matthew’s celebrates Earth Day with special hymns, the Blessing of the Bicycles and at lunch, the summary of our Environment Ballots. The children and youth are going to have an opportunity to build and take home their very own “bee hotel” that can provide solitary bees a place to lay their eggs. Enjoy time with your St. Matt’s family. Enjoy some of the best soup ever. Get energized to continue to be a climate champion. See you there.


If you wish to learn more, please contact the office at admin@stmatthewsottawa.ca or call 613-234-4024.
