The Parish of Saint Matthew enthusiastically announces that weekly worship
will resume at its home location at 1031 Bienveneda Avenue in Pacific
Palisades beginning October 19 at 10:00 AM.
This return marks another significant milestone since the Palisades Fire for
St. Matthew’s, led by its Return to Bienveneda Task Force. The homecoming
service on October 19 will include a blessing of the Parish in honor of its
reopening.
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. During this transitional phase, all visitors will be required to stay
within posted boundaries for safety considerations.
St. Augustine by-the-Sea, St. Matthew’s partner church located in Santa
Monica, has graciously hosted the St. Matthew’s community for worship
services and events since January, and will continue to offer space for
activities that cannot yet be hosted on the Episcopal Church’s Bienveneda
campus.

regroups in Pacific Palisades, as well as other updates from the Return to
Bienveneda Task Force, please visit the Parish of St. Matthew website at click here./
