Remembering Fr. Mathew's journeys
Fr. Mathew spent many months chronicling his journey through the seminary and through his years as a priest. We got to know him quite well through these stories.

• Retrace his steps leading up to the seminary, as well as his life in the seminary. Rather than downloading the entire story, you can browse each chapter, which is titled like an old-fashioned movie serial. (For example, Memories of the social life of the seminary, including the rough and tumble world of seminary basketball)
• Walk with Fr. Mathew through his life as a priest. Like the seminary stories, you can browse the chapter titles. Examples include: The great thrill of meeting Pope John Paul II and how Fr. Mathew troubled the Swiss Guard and Fr. Mathew's first impressions of St. Thomas a'Becket.

Fr. Mathew Online
Fr. Mathew embraced the power the Internet to spread the Gospel and to connect with people across many continents. These are some of his greatest hits online.

• Parishioners and staff members sent photos of Fr. Mathew as he shared their lives while he was here. The videos were combined to form a retrospective of Fr. Mathew's years at St. Thomas a'Becket. The Bon Voyage video was posted our a'Becket YouTube page on Friday, June 18.
• You can also check out Fr. Mathew instructing the children at Pentecost in 2010 or his homily at a recorded Mass for the homebound on All Saints Day in 2009.
• Fr. Mathew loved having his homilies recorded and received feedback about his recorded homilies from around the world. Visit the archive of Fr. Mathew's recorded homilies.
