The Parish of Saint Matthew announced weekly worship is set to resume at its home location at 1031 Bienveneda Avenue beginning October 19 at 10 a.m.
“This return marks another significant milestone since the Palisades fire for St. Matthew’s, led by its Return to Bienveneda Task Force,” read information shared by the church. “The homecoming service on October 19 will include a blessing of the Parish in honor of its reopening.”
St. Matthew’s has temporarily been convening at its partner church, St. Augustine by-the-Sea in Santa Monica, which has “graciously hosted the St. Matthew’s community” for worship services and events since January. It will continue to share its space for activities that will not yet return to the Palisades.
“While the church sanctuary doors will be open wide, all other areas of the campus will continue to be off limits as remediation progresses in thoughtful stages,” the church wrote. “During this transitional phase, all visitors will be required to stay within posted boundaries for safety reasons.”
