Saint Matthew the ApostleAlso known as Levi Apostle of Ethiopia Matthew the Evangelist Memorial 21 September (Western calendar) 16 November (Eastern calendar) 6 May (translation of his relics) ProfileSon of Alphaeus, he lived at Capenaum on Lake Genesareth. He was a Roman tax collector, a position equated with collaboration with the enemy by those from whom he collected taxes. Jesus’ contemporaries were surprised to see the Christ with a traitor, but Jesus explained that he had come “not to call the just, but sinners.”Matthew’s Gospel is given pride of place in the canon of the New Testament, and was written to convince Jewish readers that their anticipated Messiah had come in the person of Jesus. He preached among the Jews for 15 years; his audiences may have included the Jewish enclave in Ethiopia, and places in the East.Canonized Pre-Congregation Patronage accountants (traditional, and proclaimed for those in Italy on 6 August 1954 by Pope Pius XII) bankers bookkeepers currency exchanges customs officers financial officers (traditional, and proclaimed on 10 April 1934 by Pope Pius XXII) guards money changers money managers security forces security guards stock brokers tax collectors (traditional, and proclaimed for Italian tax collectors on 27 November 1964 by Pope Paul VI) Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers Trier, Germany, diocese of Washington, DC, archdiocese of in Italy Albanella Asiago Cannara Casalina, Pontremoli Covigliaio Fabrica di Roma Ortignano Raggiolo Salerno San Marco in Lamis Trepunti Villa d’Ogna San Mateo, Ibiza, Spain Pierre or Petrus De Brabandere (1828–1895) was the 21st bishop of Bruges in Belgium.De Brabandere was born in Ooigem, West Flanders, on 25 September 1828.
