St. Luke's Cemetery
Fee Increases Sept. 1st
Our Parish Finance Committee, after discussing the financial matters of our Parish cemetery, has decided to increase fees for burials in St. Luke’s Cemetery beginning September 1, 2022. The present prices for burial have not been adjusted for at least 20 years, and will reflect what is more consistent with other cemeteries throughout the Diocese of Worcester; although fees at St. Luke’s Cemetery will remain below the average of other cemeteries. Thus, the sale of a plot will be raised from $500.00 to $900.00. For interment, the burial of a casket (full body) will be raised from $500.00 to $1,000.00, and the burial of cremains will be raised from $125.00 to $500.00.
For any questions or concerns about the fee increases, please speak with Fr. Diego or call or email our Parish Bookkeeper, Linda Underwood at

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
We Need Your Help
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is done immediately after 9:00am Mass on Tuesdays. The priest places the Blessed Sacrament in the Monstrance on the altar for adoration. Adoration continues with people in the congregation adoring the Blessed Sacrament until 1:00pm. It is important that there always be someone present to adore the Blessed Sacrament. At 1:00pm there is beautiful Benediction service that takes about 15 minutes.
Volunteers Needed
While everyone is welcome to join us at any time for Adoration, we are looking for volunteers to sign up for specific times so that we always have someone present. If you would be interested; or if you could be a substitute or help someone by driving them to church, please let us know.
Contact Paul Horrigan with any questions: paulhorrigan123@gmail.com
Visit St. Luke's website for more information about Adoration and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Real Presence, and to see the schedule for volunteers: stlukes-parish.org/adoration
