A NOTE FROM MARIO With the news that Dave Matlak and his family will be leaving us in July, some folks may be wondering about my future at St. Matthew's. While it is my plan to retire in 2018, I am committed to stay on as Interim Rector until the new Rector arrives, and beyond the arrival of the new Rector as Assistant Rector. I'll remain as long as the Rector and the Vestry determine I'm needed.
