Dear Parents,
This time of year allows me the opportunity to look back at all the wonderful activities that have helped your children learn about creation, the Trinity, Scripture, our Church, the sacraments, social justice, and the liturgical year. Thank you for your support of our CCD program and our wonderful parish community of St. Luke’s!
Dear Catechists,
You are valuable in more ways than words can say for the difference you have made in the lives of the young people you taught this year. Each time you shared your faith experience with your class you revealed the person of Jesus Christ to these young people.
Thank you for the love and support you have so generously demonstrated and always with a smile! You truly are special and deserving of our appreciation.
Dear Students,
It has been a privilege sharing in your faith experience this year. Each time you participated in class, reached out to others in need and demonstrated courage and kindness, we saw the face of Jesus.
My prayer for you this summer is that you learn something new about our faith every day, not in a textbook but in living the teachings of Jesus about love, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and justice – and in that way learn more about our Catholic faith.
Love,
Maureen
The mission of Saint Luke Parish Christian Education is to create a welcoming, faith-filled religious education experience.
We strive to nurture and enhance the faith and Catholic traditions begun and fostered within each family.
The program, open to parishioners of all ages, focuses on formal instruction in the teachings of Jesus Christ, providing guidance and inspiration for a life-long commitment to God’s will. Our religious education program is given life and continues to grow through the talent, energy and commitment of the entire parish community. We lead by examples of worship, sacramental, preparation, outreach and human concerns.
We are delighted to have you as a part of our Parish Family and we look forward to sharing in your child's faith journey.
God Bless You and All You Do!
