The Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross taught at the school, initially living at the McCormick Home for the Aged. The Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross continued to teach at the school for the next six decades. In 1933, the St. Matthew Catholic Church Rectory was constructed.
Approximately six years after a larger church was built, a new school building was constructed in December of 1956.
The parish’s boundaries originally extended from the North Western Railroad tracks to the De Pere city limits. These boundaries changed in 1963 with the establishment of Resurrection Catholic Church.
A convent was built for St. Matthew’s sisters in 1966. Encompass Day Care now rents this facility. The original church-school building was demolished in 1971. St. Matthew Catholic School continues to operate to this day and serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The parish constructed yet another, even larger church, in 2003 on St. Matthews Street.
