Poverty and Homelessness – Our St. Luke Response
We are more than half way through our Lenten journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. There is still time to think about ways we can love God by offering charity to our neighbor. Perhaps you might consider joining fellow St. Luke parishioners in this mission of charity by giving of your time, talent and treasury to the many efforts to alleviate suffering of our neighbors in poverty or facing the challenges of homelessness.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Luke Conference: Our Vincentians continue to actively serve families and individuals in need by providing rental assistance, food assistance, furniture, limited motel stays for families who otherwise would be on the streets, connections with other resources and especially by offering hope and encouragement. For more information or to offer support (including donations), please contact the St. Vincent de Paul phone line at (626) 684-2914 or e-mail us at svdpstluke@icloud.com.
Temple City Homeless Coalition: St. Luke parishioners are well-represented on the Temple City Coalition. The Coalition is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with members from various faith communities in Temple City and the surrounding area.
The Coalition provides services to our unsheltered neighbors and those in need by offering a weekly hot meal, clothing and hygiene items every Sunday afternoon at the United Methodist Church in Temple City, Laundry Love (quarters and laundry soap) every Wednesday afternoon at the local laundromat and light case management to connect people in need with services, including referrals to St. Vincent de Paul for the services mentioned above. Sadly, the Coalition is losing the much needed shower service due to the sale of the Community of Christ Church building to another congregation that will not support the shower program. For more information about the TC Coalition and to offer assistance, including donations, please visit the TCC website at http://neighborhood-table.org/index.html or call (626) 286-3129.
St. Luke Catholic Coalition, SGV Habitat for Humanity: The St. Luke Catholic Coalition is seeking parishioners to help build housing for families in need in the San Gabriel Valley area….no experience necessary! They especially would love to have youth ages 16 and older and young adults to join the effort. The upcoming Build Day on Saturday, April 17, is a wonderful opportunity to become actively involved. Volunteers can sign up here http://vhub.at/1L30U9A.
Other ways to support the Coalition are to refer families to the Homeownership Program website here, (applications are open from April 1 to April 30), to refer families and individuals for the Home Repair Program (website here), and to volunteer or shop at the Azusa Habitat ReStore. If you choose to make a donation, please be sure to indicate it is for the Catholic Coalition, St. Luke. For more information about Habitat programs, visit the SGV Habitat website at https://sgvhabitat.org, or you can contact Veronica Romero West by phone at (626) 437-1014 or by e-mail at veronica@design1west.com.
Please help us build the Kingdom of God by helping our
impoverished and unsheltered neighbors! Perhaps this becomes
your Lenten sacrifice and may God in turn bless you abundantly.

Twice a year, 40 Days for Life (https://40daysforlife.com/) uses a peaceful approach of prayer, fasting, vigils and community outreach to change hearts and minds to choose life. We are now halfway through the 40 Days for Life Spring campaign that began on Wednesday, Feb. 17, and continues through March 28.
We thank our St. Luke parishioners who have been praying and fasting for an end to abortion during this 40 Days campaign. We also ask you to consider joining with others from St. Luke and neighboring parishes to peacefully pray (wearing a mask and socially distanced) in the public right-of-way outside Planned Parenthood El Monte, at 4786 N. Peck Road (corner of Peck and Lower Azusa) during this 40-day Vigil. We need your presence!
