Scripture Reflection

Congratulations! Welcome to the Kingdom! Rejoice and leap for joy! Sounds a little like Easter, doesn’t it? Well, in a very real way, it is. This Sunday, the scriptures remind us that we are blessed and beloved, especially when we have difficulties and don’t feel especially blessed. Read more...

Parishioners are invited to turn in their palms received on last year’s Palm Sunday to be burned for the ashes for Ash Wednesday. The palms can be left at the Pastoral Office front door. The Burning of the Palms and Prayer Service will be held in the Plaza area on Sunday, Feb. 27, following the 10:30 am Mass.

Spring Bereavement Support Sessions

St. Luke Catholic Community will be offering an eight-week Bereavement Support Program for those who have lost someone dear. The program is open to all faiths, is non-threatening, caring and very loving toward those who have suffered a loss. The two-hour sessions will run from Thursday, March 3, through April 28 (No session on April 14).

Sessions will begin at 7:00 pm and are held in the Parish Resource Center (located in the Rectory). The only cost involved is $12.00 for the workbook. Please call the Pastoral Office at (626) 291-5900 to make a reservation or for additional information.

PARISH STEWARDSHIP

Together in Mission Campaign

We are excited to announce the launch of the 2022 Together in Mission 2022 Campaign the weekend of Feb. 19-20.

Did you know that one in every five parishes needs financial assistance, and 1 in every 4 Catholic schools needs critical funds? The Together in Mission Annual Appeal provides essential faith-based and educational funding to struggling parishes and schools throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. As one Catholic community of faith, let us pray and reflect on how we can continue to help parishes in need.

This year’s Parish Goal is $61,636. Please prayerfully consider sharing the abundant gifts that God has shared with each of us. Envelopes will be available soon. Please make checks payable to "Together in Mission."

If you have made a gift in the past, a letter should arrive in your home soon asking you to renew your support. You can return that pledge card via mail or make your pledge at togetherinmission.org. Thank you for your past generosity.

Together, let’s make a difference and gather as one Catholic family for our schools and parishes.
