MISSION STATEMENT

As a community of believers in Jesus Christ and in Communion with the universal church,

we strive to follow the Lord’s command to love God and one another. Rooted in word and sacrament,

we grow together as a Eucharistic community inviting all to the Good News of Jesus.

COLLECTIONS

Amount Needed $13,425 Envelopes Received 597

ALTAR CARE

The celebration of the Eucharist

is at the center of parish life. We are a

Eucharistic Community. Liturgical

Ministers assist the priest and

community in this celebration – lectors,

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy

Communion, Ushers, Music Ministers,

Altar Servers. Yet, we often overlook

another important ministry – those who

care for the altar linens. Although not

seen at the liturgy itself, these women

keep the altar linens clean and worthy of

use at the altar. They wash and iron

linens and keep them in good condition.

These dedicated women are

always looking for volunteers. Their

ministry is done at home, taking the

soiled linens and returning them to the

sacristy ready for use.

Would you like to help this

important ministry? Give the rectory a

call and ask for Valerie.

When preparing for the Baptism of your child, parents must attend a Pre-Baptism Class.

Godparents are welcome and encouraged to attend. The class is held once a month usually on

the third Monday night of the month at 7:30pm. The Baptismal Liturgy is usually celebrated

on the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 3pm. No Baptism can take place until the

church receives a copy of the child’s Birth Certificate as required by the diocese. If you

are planning a Baptism, please note the following dates:

SAINT LUKE SCHOOL ART EXHIBITION

On Tuesday, May 2nd, Mrs. Brunswick, Mrs. Jones, and the students at Saint Luke School were proud to participate in the first annual Art Exhibition. Each student had a framed painting in our “museum” to show off. Parents and staff were so impressed by the variety of styles, colors, and techniques used by our budding artists. Their beautiful artwork was also available for purchase as a school fundraiser for our Art program. We look forward to many more exhibitions to come!
