RCIA Classes - 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 which 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. We look forward to meeting with you and taking this faith walk together!

National Needs Combined Collection
Next weekend, July 23-24, is the collection for the National Needs Combined Collection. This collection makes it possible to continue strengthening Catholic faith, values and education through the Catholic Communication Campaign’s television, radio and print messages. It helps support some of the poorest dioceses in the country that depend on annual collections.
Through vital evangelization programs, the Black and Indian Home Mission provides aid to some of the neediest African-American and Native American communities. It enables them to insure the highest standards of Catholic education through The Catholic University of America. Envelopes are in the pews. Please make checks payable to “St. Luke Church.” Donations may be deposited in the regular collection. Thank you!
