At each Mass during the weekend of June 4th and 5th, Fr. Riley informed St. Luke parishioners that he has been reassigned to St. Anne’s Parish in Shrewsbury effective the first of July. Fr. Enoch, who has been Priest in Residence here during this past year, will also be going to St. Anne’s.
Fr. Riley thanked St. Luke’s parishioners for their beautiful friendship, incredible generosity, their goodness, and most of all for their faith in Jesus Christ, because that faith is what brings us together. He will keep us in his daily prayers, and asks that we do the same for him.

St. Luke Parish's new pastor will be Fr. Diego Buritica who is currently associate pastor of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Fr. Riley shared that he has known Fr. Diego for a number of years and considers him a wonderful priest and a great guy. Fr. Diego will start his new assignment here at St. Luke’s on July 1st. We look forward to welcoming and getting to know Fr. Diego.
Bishop McManus announced new priest assignments last week. View the article in The Catholic Free Press.
Fr. Riley and First Communicants pose for a photo after Mass on Pentecost Sunday, June 5th.
Fr. Riley’s ministry at St. Luke may have been short, but his kindness, easy-going personality, and sense of humor will long be remembered by the members of our parish.
He and Fr. Enoch will be greatly missed and we send them both to their new parish with our love. They will always hold a special place in our hearts.
We pray that God will bless both men with His peace and joy as they continue their ministry at St. Anne’s Parish in Shrewsbury.
Fr. Enoch joined St. Luke's youth for a fun evening during our weekly 2021 Summer Youth Volleyball games on the rectory lawn.

The Eucharist
Mondays- starts July 18
7:00 - 8:15pm
Remotely via Zoom
Bishop Barron offers inspiring insights into the mystery of Christ's presence in our lives and the centrality of the Eucharist as an important part of that presence. So many believers do not understand the mystery of the Eucharist, which is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and the real presence of Christ
The Sacraments
Wednesdays- Starts July 6
7:00 - 8:15pm
Parish Center Room 25
The great sacraments of the Church—Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, the Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders—have endured for thousands of years and structured countless lives. Everything in the Church’s life comes from and returns to them.
But there is far more to these ancient rites than meets the eye.
Introduction to Theology of the Body
Thursdays- starts July 7
7:00 - 8:00pm
Remotely via Zoom
An Introduction to the Theology of the Body: Discovering the Master Plan for Your Life is a study designed to give you a solid understanding of God’s plan for humanity. It addresses the two most fundamental and universal questions:
What does it mean to be made human, male and female, in the image and likeness of God?
How can I live my life in a way that brings happiness and fulfillment?
