Father Christopher DeGiovine was appointed pastor of St. Matthew’s Church in September 2014.  At the request of Father Chris, his appointment as Pastor was scheduled to coincide with the liturgical feast day of St. Matthew the Apostle which is September 21.  Immediately prior to his arrival at St. Matthew’s, he was Dean of Spiritual Life and Chaplain at the College of Saint Rose.   It is with permission on 01/08/2020 that we are able to bring these teachings to you.
