Collection to Support Those Affected by Haiti Earthquake
A special Second Collection will be taken up this weekend, Aug. 28-29, to support those who have been affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti. Last weekend the people of Haiti experienced a catastrophic earthquake, causing immense damage and substantial loss of life. The earthquake was followed by a major tropical storm, which added even further devastation.
The bishops of the United States, through the USCCB Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund, are asking for your financial support, so that we can respond as a unified Church and help those most in need. Please consider how you can help. Checks can be made payable to “MISSION OFFICE.” Thank you for your generosity.

RCIA Classes to Begin in September
For New Members of the Catholic Faith
St. Luke Parish welcomes new members into the Catholic Church as well as those who need to complete their Initiation Sacraments. This is done through a process of education, faith sharing, and rituals known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
This process includes several Rites that take place within the context of the Mass. Gatherings are provided to encourage conversion and an awakening of faith as we study the Gospel in light of Catholic tradition and dogma.
If you or anyone you know is interested in taking this journey with us to the Easter sacraments, please call the Pastoral Office at (626) 291-5900 for more information. These classes will begin Wednesday, Sept. 29, possibly virtually if restrictions are still in place due to the pandemic. Either through electronic means or in person, we look forward to meeting with you and taking this faith walk together.
