Saint Mathew's Catholic Church


Saint Matthew's 50 years as a Parish:

On the 1st of January 2020 it was 50 years since St Matthew's was established as a Parish. We celebrated Mass with Bishop Steve followed by morning tea.

At Saint Matthew's, Silverdale, Hamilton we live in accord with the will of the Father, reflecting the life of Jesus Christ and are led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the Eucharist as the center, source and summit of our Catholic faith.

We are a community forming an oasis of prayer, reflecting the love of Jesus and eager to share the source of our joy and hope.

Our congregation averages 180 at a Sunday Mass with people from Asia, Africa, Europe, America, India, the Pacific as well as New Zealand.
