Youth Ministry Collection
THIS WEEKEND, July 23-24, a second collection will take place at all the Masses for
the St. Luke Youth Ministry Program. It will help offset the cost of expenses for our
youth who are participating in conferences and other leadership building and spiritual
activities. Such events bring youth from various parishes together for spiritually enriching
weekends, as well as prepare them for leadership within the Youth Ministry program and
in the parish. Envelopes are in the pews. Please make checks payable to St. Luke Church.
Thank you for supporting our youth!
Father Mark’s Corner
The Silent Sermon
An illustration that actions speak louder than words
A
member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly,
stopped going. After a few weeks, the pastor decided to visit him.
It was a chilly
evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing
the reason for his pastor's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair
near the fireplace and waited.
The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated
the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the pastor took
the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of
the hearth all alone. He then sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in
quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was
a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead.
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. The pastor glanced at his watch
and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and
placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the
light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek,
“Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon. I will be back in
church next Sunday.”
We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few
listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken. What is most valuable is
not what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives.
S
Keep Praying
t. Monica, whose feast we celebrate
in August, is often known as "the
persistent mother." She watched her
oldest son, Augustine, turn his back on
his Christian faith.
Monica was exasperated. For years she
gave up talking directly to her son on
the advice of a local bishop, who told
her that it was better to talk to God
about Augustine then to Augustine
about God.
The mother never gave up praying for
her son. Eventually Augustine gave up
his wild ways, was baptized, and later
ordained and named bishop of Hippo.
St. Augustine went on to become one
of the Church's greatest scholars.
Today's readings address the importance
of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite
of trepidation that he is bothering the
Lord, continues to ask about the fate of
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jesus, in Luke's Gospel, tells his
disciples to "ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find; knock and the
door will be opened to you" (Luke
11:9). This is our charge: keep praying.

Planned Giving: Leave a Lasting Legacy
C
ontinue the mission of St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic
Community through Planned Giving. A meaningful way to
support your parish is to leave a bequest in your will or living
trust. There are many benefits to making a planned gift and
you will be leaving a lasting legacy to our parish community.
If you are creating a plan for your future or need to make
updates to an existing plan, please consider including St.
Luke Catholic Community.
Contact the Pastoral Office at (626) 291-5900 to learn about
the best assets to make a planned gift, including cash, securities
and property. A bequest can be made in several ways, including:
gift a specific dollar amount or asset, gift a percentage of your
estate, gift from the balance or residue of your estate, make
a beneficiary designation of certain assets. Various gift options
provide tax and income benefits.
Help support the preservation of our parish facilities. In the
near future, our facilities will be in need of critical updates
and repairs. There are also many additional resources our
parish could benefit from through the support of bequests.
Gifts shared through planned giving make a significant
impact on addressing these needs. Our church grounds are
the home through which we are able to carry out the Gospel
message as Christian stewards, in the likeness of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your generosity.

Become Involved at St. Luke Parish
Consider sharing your time and talents
The parish has dozens of opportunities that offer a variety of ways to give back and be involved in parish life. We invite you to
find a ministry that matches your interests, schedule availability, and talents. Reflect on what your gifts are and how you can help.
Everyone has something that they can give whether it is their time, supplies or funds. As a community, we journey together.
Interested in becoming involved in Parish Life? Please check the box next to the ministries/organizations you would like to join and return
this sheet to the Pastoral Office. A Ministry Coordinator will contact you. Thank you in advance for giving of yourself in God’s work.
Ministry Spotlight
Mass Ministries – These Ministries work together to assist in the Masses of the Church on
Sundays and Holy Days. The ministries include the Sacristans and Ushers who help with
the preparation and flow of the Mass, and the Musicians, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers
and Altar Servers who perform key roles in the Mass.
All of these Mass Ministries need volunteers for the many demands of their ministries.
While at Mass, why not participate in the Mass through a ministry!
Ministry of Mothers Sharing (MOMS) is a study/support group for mothers to share,
learn and bond in our Catholic-Christian Faith, while gaining insight into our mission as
mothers. Through peer-ministry, self-discovery, prayer and mentorship, we will become
more aware of our inner sacredness as women and moms.
How Will
You Serve?
Many women and mothers feel isolated, alone, and discouraged. We ask our fellow
parishioners to pray for our ministry and also pray that women would join us so we can
journey together.

DID YOU KNOW...
Parents Should be Wary
of Online Solicitation
A study on online victimization
found that approximately one in five
children receive sexual solicitation
from a stranger over the Internet.
Given today's reliance on online
contact, imagine how much that
number has grown over the last
several years.
Children who use the Internet cannot
be totally safe from dangers, because
the Internet is open to all, but parents
should monitor activity and sites
visited to ensure that their kids are
not being contacted by predators.
Talk to your child about Internet
safety
and
appropriate
vs.
inappropriate communication.
