| Decree Of Establishment In accordance with the provisions of the Code of Canon Law, and after having consulted with the Council of Priests of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, I now deem it fitting to establish St. Matthew Mission in Winder as a Parish of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Following are the boundaries of said Parish.
I also take this opportunity to name Reverend Victor J. Reyes as first pastor of St. Matthew Parish and commend him, his successors, and all the parishioners of St. Matthew Parish to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the protection of the Blessed and Ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This Decree is effective on June 24, 1999. Given in Atlanta, Georgia this 1st day of June, in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, nineteen hundred and ninety-nine. Most Reverend John Francis Donoghue Archbishop of Atlanta |
