Not sure what to say?

Very saddened by Matthew's death. Had many a laugh with him when he was a seminarian in Baltimore

Rest in peace dear friend

My husband and I were saddened to hear of Father Matthew's passing. We live in Maryland and were vacationing in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina in August 2019. While there we attended Mass St. Margaret Mary church. What a blessing to have listened to one of his homilies. Since returning home we discovered Father Matthew's homilies on the church's website and inspire us so much. Our prayers are with Father Matthew's family and friends. May the Lord's peace be with you...

Father Matthew, as my children called him, was amazing. My son, who is now 28, still talks about how amazing he was about getting it with high school kids. I know that his sermons were the only ones he ever listened to. So sorry for his passing.
