About Fr Matthew Green
Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location!
One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos
on Flickr and buy prints of some of them
on Fine Art America.
I am a daily contributor to
GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution.
I also have my own blog,
Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.

Thank you Father Green for putting out the word about “Glow-with-Grace! The Grace Center has operated only 13 months, but in that time it has served over 220 adults in crisis. Many were homeless, but many also were folks simply suffering from a combination of financial and emotional challenges complicated by addictions, job loss, evictions, and other cirucmstances. The Grace Center is homeless in its own way… the program operates in the community halls of three churches on Middle Street, and each day it must move to the next location in rotation Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday. We live out of a little backpack as we move daily. Over 35 volunteers serve the guests in the day center. Lunch is provided and lives are being saved. For more information folks can call (978) 973-2362 and talk to me – Rev. Tom Bentley. Our hope is on March 23rd the community can glow with the blue light of hope and love.
It is indeed a joy to be a volunteer at the Grace Center. Martha Perry
