Outreach
Many St. Luke’s parishioners devote their time, thought and resources to serve the needs of the greater community. We are proud of our work and prayerful that we will grow in our outreach efforts. Following are some of our ongoing and recent activities.
If anyone would be interested in walking together in Race for the Cure or possibly forming a team from St. Luke’s, please let me know. The race will take place this year on Saturday, October 16 at 8 am.
