Adopt-A-Family For Christmas
St. Luke's assignment for families in the Diocesan-wide "Adopt-A-Family" for the Christmas holiday will be announced as soon as we receive the information! We should receive that information at the beginning of November. Your co-chairs will prepare the index cards and sign-up sheets within a few days of our assignments, so look for announcements at church services and in the November Shepherd.

All items must be new. Some ideas are:

Mini-Mart is next Saturday! As in past years, we will be selling homemade empanadas, churros, and water. We need help setting up, cleaning up, and transporting food from the Church kitchen to the booth. If you can help, please speak with Kristine Janusas.
We are quickly approaching the two most important fund raisers of the year. Towards the end of October, the Every Member Canvas will be in the mail. On Saturday, November 3rd is the annual Bazaar. Please support these activities to the best of your ability. Thank you.
