Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time | November 14, 2021
|
|
As we celebrate the last two Sundays in our Liturgical Calendar, we will hear narratives regarding the end times. In the Gospel today Our Lord Jesus describes how this world will end and how He, the Son of Man will return in His glory “to judge the living and the dead.” Unfortunately, as the Lord said in the Gospel, “but of that day or hour, no one knows, neither angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Read more...

Catholic Coalition Habitat for Humanity
Home Repair Opportunities – Please Help!
The SGV Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition promotes and supports the work of SGV Habitat for Humanity. Parishes in the San Gabriel Pastoral Region are forming teams as part of the SGV Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition.
As we work to build a Catholic Coalition Habitat team at St. Luke, our parishioners are invited to join with volunteers from Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary church in Pasadena to help repair two homes, one on Nov. 20 in Alhambra and another on Dec. 11 in Baldwin Park.
Volunteers can be anyone 16 years of age and older. You don’t need to have any special skills to volunteer, and no experience is necessary! Habitat will teach us everything we need to know on the build site, and they will provide us with any needed tools. All you need is the desire to make a difference in the lives of others!
Those Interested in volunteering should follow the steps below:
1. Each volunteer must create their own VolunteerHub account using this link: http://vhub.at/assumptionsgv
2. Volunteers will sign up for the shift(s) they want. Please note, there are two shifts available: an AM shift (7:45 am – 11:30 am) and a PM shift (11:45 am – 3:30 pm). Volunteers may also sign up for both shifts and work the entire day.
3. Each volunteer must sign the electronic liability waiver. Minors (16-17 years of age) will need to print/bring a hard copy of the liability waiver to the site with a parent/guardian signature on it. Please note, the system will generate a liability waiver once an individual has signed up for a shift.
4. Once registered, the volunteer will receive a confirmation e-mail with all the information needed including the address, build day schedule, parking, what to wear, what to bring, etc.
Habitat for Humanity seeks to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. They build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Learn more about Habitat for Humanity at https://sgvhabitat.org.
Let’s give thanks to God and to our communities by giving back during the months of November and December. Please share these opportunities with your friends and families and join us!
~St. Luke Life, Justice and Peace Ministry
