St Matthew's Rectory 3000 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19149

"My mother, who is 96 years old, wanted to go to confession. She uses a walker so kneeling in the confessional is not possible. When I was in confession I told the priest about my mother. He asked where she was. After my confession he went to her, sat next to her and heard her confession. She had just been released from a short hospital stay. Father asked if she wanted the Anointing of the Sick. After Mass she received the Announcing. I do not live in St. Matthew's Parrish but nearly every Saturday I attended confession, Mass, the rosary and Miraculous Medal Novena. Now my mother loves St. Matthew's as much as I do."

"Nice people and the place ia greats!"

"Went to a funeral mass here recently. Church is beautiful, but the sound system is way too loud. Blew my ears out."

"Fa. Welsh is very gracious and has been a friend for years. St. Matt's purchased their new organ from us, Grafton Piano & Organ."

"The school is fantastic. I find the curriculum and workload to be vigorous. The environment is very safe, personal, and engaged. St. Matt's had their affairs in order quickly during the pandemic shutdown. The kids are not only challenged academically, they're held to high behavioral and moral standards. St. Matt's is one of the few positive experiences left in NE Philly. Over the years I've found that the negative reviews have come from parents who can't afford the tuition. The tuition is very affordable and it's the one bill I never complain about. I'm a big fan of Matt's and I highly recommend the school and Parrish."
