Dear St. Luke Community,
We are so excited about Catholic School’s Week starting this Sunday, January 31 (Celebrate Parish Day). We will kick off the week attending mass as a community. The heart and soul of our mission is the Eucharist. Please join us at any of the masses this weekend, as we pray and gather in support of Catholic schools. Our children will be participating in the noon mass. If you plan to attend with your children, please have the children wear their uniform, or a St. Luke spirit shirt. We are so proud to belong to such a beautiful community. Please come by and say hello!
We will continue throughout the week to provide opportunities to continue with our special traditions, even though we are still under such strict restrictions. We will have modified activities, to ensure that our faculty, staff, and children are safe. We hope you will join us on Facebook live to see some of the events! School spirit and pride are alive and well at St. Luke Catholic School…and we love to celebrate our students and community!
