St. Luke The Evangelist Catholic Church

In response to the devastation that has impacted the Bahamas and other areas that have yet to be impacted, the Diocese of St. Petersburg is asking for donations for their Disaster Relief Fund. One hundred percent of these disaster relief funds will benefit people affected by natural disasters including Hurricane Dorian. In 2018, the Diocese of St. Petersburg donated $300,000 to the victims of Hurricane Michael in Pensacola-Tallahassee.

A second collection was held at all weekend Masses September 14th & 15th for the victims of hurricane Dorian but you can still make a donation.   Click here to make a donation or mail donations to Disaster Relief Fund, Diocese of St. Petersburg, P.O. Box 40200, St. Petersburg, FL 33743-0200

Please continue to keep our brothers and sisters impacted by natural disasters in your prayers!

Sunday Morning classes.

Do you have children or grandchildren who love to sing? If so, consider having them join the Children's Choir.

Please see our Music Director Bruno Soldo, or call the parish office for more details.

Many of us are reluctant to give away assets while living as we are concerned we may need them, but would also like to do something to help St. Luke parish after our passing.

The Angel Wings Society was created for those who wish to provide funds for maintaining parish facilities and continuing capital improvements by including the parish in their estate plan.

Members meet yearly with the Pastor to discuss plans for the parish, hear financial planning ideas and give input. Each participant receives a gold pin in recognition of their support and is remembered at a Mass each month.

To learn more about leaving a legacy to fulfil the parish's mission to serve our parishioners and the community, please contact our Pastor Fr. Paul or call or email Stephen Putnam at 727-580-0979 or [email protected]

St. Luke's Respect Life Prayer

(We have prayer cards available for your asking)

O Blessed Mother,

Pray for us your children

That we may be strong against the forces of death.

Look down upon the babies not allowed to be born,

On the poor, on the victims of social injustice,

On the elderly and sick killed by the indifference or misguided mercy.

Help us appreciate the miracle of life as a gift from God,

And may we become a People of Life!   Amen.

Let us pray that we will make stewardship a way of life with God by sharing His blessings through our faith, hope and love - time, talent and treasure.

As we plan the things in our lives that are most important to us:

Help us to put our faith into action

Help us to share our time to serve those in need.

Help us to become less preoccupied with material possessions.

Help us to share our treasures to do Your work.

Help us to serve our Church, our community and our world.

Fill our minds with Your truth and our hearts with Your love, so that we may bond together as a community of faith, a parish family, a caring people.

We do this, O Lord, as a sign of our love and in thanksgiving for the many blessings we have received, through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

If not us, who?

          If not here, where?

                    If not now, when?

                              If not the Kingdom, why?

Let's us all be Good Stewards of our time, talents and treasure.
