U p d a t e s
According to the Gospels, Matthew was a 1st-century Galilean (presumably born in Galilee, which was not part of Judea or the Roman Judaea province), the son of Alphaeus.
As a tax collector, he would probably not have been literate, and certainly could not write highly educated Greek. His fellow Jews would have despised him for what was seen as collaborating with the Roman occupation force.
Among the early followers and apostles of Jesus, Matthew is mentioned as a publican (KJV) or tax collector (NIV) who, while sitting at the "receipt of custom" in Capernaum, was called to follow Jesus.
After his call, Matthew invited Jesus for a feast. On seeing this, the Scribes and the Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners. This prompted Jesus to answer, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Like the other evangelists, Matthew is often depicted in Christian art with one of the four living creatures of Revelation 4:7. The one that accompanies him is in the form of a winged man.
Origen said the first Gospel was written by Matthew. This Gospel was composed in Hebrew near Jerusalem for Hebrew Christians and translated into Greek, but the Greek copy was lost. The Hebrew original was kept at the Library of Caesarea. Matthew's Gospel was called the Gospel according to the Hebrews or sometimes the Gospel of the Apostle.
He died 1st century AD. His tomb is located in the crypt of Salerno Cathedral in southern Italy.

Ministries
The liturgy, like the Church herself, cannot exist without a Community. For this reason, each Member who worships at the Sacred Heart contributes by putting their gifts at the service of the Community.
