St. Luke Weekly News

Dear St. Luke Families,

Thank-you to Father Jim from OLPH parish for the beautiful mass on Thursday to celebrate the Feast Day of St Luke. Father also presented our Grade 4’s with their very own Bibles sponsored by the REAL Foundation and blessed each Bible and a rosary for them. The Bible, he told the students, is a book that they can read each night to get the “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.” I greatly encourage parents to take some time to read with their children this amazing gift they have been given.

I hope you all are able to take some time to enjoy the weekend!

Saint Luke, in your gospel, you show us the beauty of holiness. Help us to reflect the image of Christ in the way we live our lives.

Saint Luke, pray for us!

God Bless,

Cathy Hinger

Principal
