On October 13, 2024, the Catholic Women Association (CWA), Our Lady Queen of the Holy Rosary Branch, at St. Matthias the Apostle, celebrated their Diamond Anniversary. Our pastor Fr. Avelino Gonzalez celebrated the 11:30 am Sunday Mass which included special songs and prayers honoring the CWA, followed by a reception at Friendship Hall. Many members of other CWA chapters came to the event from as far away as Pennsylvania. We thank everyone that made the event such a success and joyous occasion.
