St. Vincent de Paul St. Luke Conference Pantry Weekend
It’s Pantry Weekend! Thank you for your support of our Food Pantry. We are in particular need of the following items: pasta sauce, peanut butter, jelly, and canned ravioli/spaghetti. Please leave your food donations in the baskets at the exits of the church today after all the Masses, or at the Pastoral Office. For monetary donations, please use the blue St. Vincent de Paul envelopes found in the pews.
The St. Luke Food Pantry operates on an “as needed” basis. Food is available by appointment, rather than on a food distribution day. If you know of anyone in the community in need of food, please have them call (626) 684-2914.

It’s Commitment Sunday for the 2023 Together in Mission Campaign
This year we celebrate your long-time commitment to support the poor and underserved in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for 30 years during the 30th Anniversary of Together in Mission. The Together in Mission 2023 "Shine His Light" Campaign will launch this weekend.
As one Catholic community of faith, let's be rooted in prayer and reflect how we can continue to help our struggling parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles well into the future. Did you know that one in every five parishes needs financial assistance, and 1 in every 4 Catholic schools needs critical funds to keep their doors open? That’s why we need you.
We need you to be very generous and help schools and parishes that need your support to continue their ministries and missions. Our parish’s goal is $58,769. Our cumulative Together in Mission 2023 goal is $16.7M, representing the Annual Appeal throughout Archdiocese.
Please prayerfully consider sharing the abundant gifts that God has shared with each of us. Envelopes will be available soon. 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.
Let’s make a difference and gather as one Catholic family for our schools and parishes. Please consider make a generous 30th Anniversary gift today!
