“Teaching about God’s Gift of Forgiveness”Jesus calls us to be Fishers of Men, an invitation to reach out and serve others which requires a response. St. Luke is very fortunate that its Stewards hear the invitation and also respond! One of the ministries that exemplifies the very heart of this scripture is our Faith Formation Program. St. Luke is blessed with a multitude of stewards who form a great TEAM of educators and make possible formation classes. Weekly formation classes in all areas from Pre-school to adults, in English and Spanish, are available. Sacramental classes, bible studies, youth tutoring, vacation bible school, a home-study program, spiritual workshops in all areas and on and on. These classes are made possible by the many stewards who give so generously of their time and talents to make them happen.
"The family, as the fundamental and essential educating community, is the privileged means for transmitting the religious and cultural values which help the person to acquire his or her own identity. Founded on love and open to the gift of life, the family contains in itself the very future of society; its most special task is to contribute effectively to a future of peace."
"The future starts today, not tomorrow."
-Pope John Paul II
