Towering over Interstate 94 and Detroit’s Morningside neighborhood, St. Matthew Catholic Church is an impressive landmark on the city’s east side.

But many of St. Matthew’s neighbors have never entered the historic church.

So, one Saturday, a group of parishioners thought it best to go out into the neighborhood and bring the church to them.

Eight people gathered at St. Matthew on Nov. 15, equipping themselves with information about the parish and bags of cookies, and knocked on doors, introducing themselves to neighbors and extending a friendly invitation to the parish.
