PRAYER SHAWLS AND LAP ROBES
This weekend, November 7th - 8th, prayer shawls and lap robes will be available in the front vestibule of the church for anyone in need of comfort.
You may also take them for family or friends who would benefit from having one and may not be attending mass in person at St. Luke’s. The shawls and robes have been prayed over while they were lovingly knitted or crocheted by the members of St. Luke's Prayer Shawl Ministry.
St. Luke's Parish Outreach
THANKSGIVING 2020
Donations Requested for Thanksgiving Groceries
A letter from St. Luke's Outreach Team:
Because of COVID-19, we have all faced many challenges this year. It has even affected our ability to go to church safety. In a normal year, Outreach would be preparing Thanksgiving baskets for over 130 families. This year, unfortunately, for safety reasons, we are forced to break that tradition. We made certain, however, that each family has been given the opportunity to receive groceries for a Thanksgiving dinner through the Westborough Food Pantry.
When COVID-19 began last March, St. Luke's Parish Outreach was inundated with requests for assistance, mostly from folks dealing with food insecurity. At that time I asked for your help by donating grocery cards. Because of your generosity, Outreach was able to give out more than $6,800 in grocery cards between March and July alone. It's hard to convey to you the gratitude these families (and seniors) expressed.
At this time, our usual full supply of grocery cards is almost empty. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am asking you to help replenish that supply if you are able. You can give us grocery cards (in any denomination) or make a cash donation.
On behalf of all the families that count on St. Luke's, I thank you. It is because of your generosity that our Outreach program can continue help so many.
On behalf of Parish Outreach, I wish you and your families a very healthy and safe Thanksgiving.

Knights of Columbus 53rd Memorial Mass
Monday, November 16th, at 7:00 PM
For 52 years, the members of the John Boyle O'Reilly Council 85 Knights of Columbus have remembered our Brother Knights in a Memorial Mass on the 3rd Monday of November. We have celebrated the mass at our Council Hall, but this year we will remember our deceased Brothers in a mass celebrated on Monday, November 16th, at 7:00 PM at St. Luke's Church. Everyone is invited to join us.
The special dedication of the mass this year will remember Fred Brown, Paul Cahill, Dick Drohan, Dave Fay, Bill McLoughlin and Tony Volpe.
We will follow all the recommended and required protocols established for all masses at St. Luke's. Masks will be required and sanitizing of hands will be done upon entering the church and prior to reception of the holy Eucharist.
We hope to see you then.
If you have any questions, call Herman Millet at 508.735.8465 or email at hjmillet@verizon.net
