Our faith is not an individual business. For one cannot save oneself alone nor can one save another by oneself alone without the help of a community. In the Gospel Jesus shows the importance of working together for the salvation of others. Read more...

We Pray for Our Priests
Priesthood Sunday - Sept. 26
We pray for all priests, that their ministry may be fruitful and appreciated, and that good men may be drawn to priesthood
to love and serve the people of God.
We pray for Fr. Robert Victoria
and Seminarian Joseph Morrell.
May our parish family always embrace
our priests and support their ministry
by our love, our constant prayer, and our trust in their faithful guidance.

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.
