5 /5 mariggi lopez: My husband and I are from North Jersey but we own a vacation condo in Hallendale Beach. This year we were going to be down her for the Easter holiday and we were eager to find a catholic church nearby so we could attend mass. Luckily, St Matthew is only half a mile away from us so we decided to try it out. We were truly pleasantly surprised. Church was packed! But, there was a large room om the side of the church where chairs were placed so that people could still sit and enjoy mass. The people were so friendly and mass was truly wonderful. We brought our 3 year old and 10 year old and even they had a pleasant experience. We feel lucky to have found St Matthew and will be attendind more often when we are here om the weekends.
