Pentecost Sunday | June 5, 2022 |
|
The mystery of the Trinity refers to one God in three persons. We frequently acknowledge Jesus as “the second person of the Trinity,” but referring also to the Spirit as a “person” comes less naturally. In religious art, the Holy Spirit often appears as a dove or, as in today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles, tongues of fire. Much rarer are images of the Spirit as a “person” in recognizable human form. Read more...

Archdiocesan Priest Retirement Fund
Next weekend, June 11-12, all parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will be asked to give generously to support the Retirement Fund for Archdiocesan Priests. Currently, the fund provides for more than 100 priests who are retired. In the years to come, that number is expected to increase significantly. With minimal compensation, and in many cases, no pensions, these men often retire with nothing to fall back upon.
Your contributions can change that. The Priest Retirement Fund offers us a way to give back to our Catholic priests who have served us so faithfully. Your contribution will help archdiocesan priests live modestly and peacefully in retirement.
Help us offer thanks for their years of devotion to God and faithful service to our parish communities. Envelopes are in the pews and can be placed in the regular collection basket. Please make checks payable to “St. Luke Church.” Thank you for your generosity.

RESOURCES FOR FORMING CONSCIENCES
FOR FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
It is election time, and a good time to remind us, that as Catholics, we have a religious and moral obligation to be faithful citizens. We carry out this duty in many ways — by running for political office; by working within political parties; by communicating our concerns and positions to our elected officials; and by joining Church and community organizations that seek justice and the common good in society.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Office of Life, Justice & Peace has provided us with resources to help us form our consciences in light of Catholic teaching and to become better informed about issues of importance to the Catholic community. Here are a few of the resources they have provided to us:

Handouts:
Faithful Citizenship
“We know that God is One and God is Love. And we know that every human life begins as a thought of love in the mind of God. So every life is precious and every life is sacred — the child in her mother’s womb; the person who is disabled; the one who is old or sick; the homeless, the criminal, the immigrant and refugee. Nothing can separate any of us from the love of God! Not health or wealth. Not our “status” in society. We are all God’s children!”
-Archbishop José H. Gomez
