The Monsignor John A. Bendix Community Life Center provides the school with an auditorium setting and conference areas. Annually, it is also the setting for a St. Joseph 's Altar coordinated by the third grade and a Louisiana Heritage Day Celebration organized by the fourth grade. The parish church itself is the setting for student-attended weekly Masses with the parish community, Reconciliation, the annual Christmas Pageant, Passion Play, May Crowning, the Living Rosary, the Way of the Cross, and Benediction during Lent. |
The Campus


St. Matthew sits on a nine-acre suburban campus. The new construction on campus meets all the standards of the American Disabilities Act, and all buildings are fully air-conditioned. There are thirty-four classrooms and a library with a forty-student capacity. One class of Pre-kindergarten three-year-old students is housed in a classroom and the other is housed in a 1,058 square foot portable facility on campus. Pre-kindergarten four-year-old students are housed in a separate 2,500 square foot facility. A full service, 8,500 square foot cafeteria was completed in the fall of 1999. Two computer labs with Internet capability, two portable computer labs each with twenty-five lap top computers, a 15 computer portable lab in the library, and computers in each individual classroom provide the students with access to current technology.
