About this Sunday's worship

This morning we observe the Day of Saint Luke, a celebration in which we remember the saint for whom our parish was named. Saint Luke was the author of both the Gospel of Saint Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. According to tradition, he was a physician. Indeed his writings offer many examples of the concern Jesus had for healing, both in body and in mind. He is also remembered as an artist and is honored as a patron of artists as well. Thus on his feast day, we celebrate the gifts of the Gospel ministry and in our prayers, we remember by name those who continue in his tradition by sharing their gifts of healing.
