Peter's Pence Collection
This weekend, June 26-27, is the Peter’s Pence Collection. The annual Peter’s Pence Collection, in support of the works of the Holy Father, is held in parishes across the country.
The proceeds from this collection fund emergency relief assistance to those throughout the world who suffer from war, oppression and natural disasters.
Through works of charity, Catholics provide a powerful witness of love and deeds to empower the weak, the defenseless and the voiceless, and to sustain those who suffer. As we participate in this special appeal, we join with the more than one billion Catholics worldwide in a loving expression of solidarity.
Thank you for your generosity. Envelopes are in the pews. Please make checks payable to St. Luke Church. Donations may be deposited in the regular collection.

Pregnant Mothers Need Support!
Women in difficult life situations who become pregnant are often scared, alone and do not know where to turn for help. According to 2014 data from abortion centers, 75% of their clients were poor, 60% were young women in their 20s and 86% were unmarried. Abortion often becomes their solution of choice because they do not know that help is available to them or that other resources exist.
"No woman should ever face a pregnancy feeling alone, or desperate, or like she has no other options. These are our sisters. We cannot be indifferent to their fears. We need to be near to them, to help them in every way that we can.” ~Archbishop José H. Gomez
There are local resources for pregnant women and their families who need help with crisis pregnancies.
Pregnancy Help Center of San Gabriel Valley, Inc. is located at 909-904 E. Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91801. Their appointment phone line is (626) 309-0788 and their website is https://pregnancyhelpsgv.com/. Their services include free pregnancy tests and non-diagnostic ultrasounds with audio and visual, professional staff of RNs, ultrasound technician and doctors, 24-Hour Helpline, sensitive options counseling, referrals, baby supplies and parenting classes.
Guadalupe Pregnancy Services promotes healthy alternatives to abortion through counseling and education. Their services include free pregnancy tests, information on pregnancy options, ultrasound referrals, adoption referrals, parenting classes, relationship mentoring and maternity clothes, baby clothes and baby essentials. They are located at 1168 San Gabriel Blvd. #E, Rosemead, CA 91770. Their phone number is (626) 872-2483, and their website is https://www.pregnancy-gps.org/.
Options United is an agency that refers women to all the pregnancy resource centers in Southern California. Pregnancy centers help connect pregnant women with medical care, insurance, housing, food, baby items, maternity clothes, childcare, and more. Their phone number is 1-877-398-7734 and their website is http://www.optionsforpregnancy.com/.
LoveLine is a new pro-life helpline, founded by former abortion clinic worker Abby Johnson, which connects pregnant or post-abortive women in need to the proper resources. LoveLine is 24/7, 365 days a year. Call or text LoveLine @ 888.550.1588, or visit their website at https://loveline.com/.
Life is sacred and has a purpose from womb to tomb, no matter the circumstances in which life came to be. God is the giver of life and we have no say in that. We can promote LIFE and help mothers in crisis by connecting them with resources.
O Blessed Mother, you received the good news of the incarnation of Christ, your Son, with faith and trust. Grant your protection to all pregnant mothers facing difficulties.
Guide us as we strive to make our parish communities places of welcome and assistance for mothers in need. Help us become instruments of God’s love and compassion.
Mary, Mother of the Church, graciously help us build a culture of life and a civilization of love, together with all people of good will, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life.* Amen.
