M e e t O u r A c o l y t e s !

PLEASE SIGN UP We are doing very poorly on our coffee hours this

year. Why don’t we try to have a group sign up for a Sunday? Maybe the Youth, the ves-try, the men’s group, etc. It does-n’t have to be fancy and if several people bring 1 item each, easy, breezy! Who wants to go first?????

MEN’S NIGHT OUT Our next men’s din-ner is scheduled for 6:00 pm, Sept. 25th, 2012 . By that time the grill will be hot and ready to cook. Bring your own steak, chicken, or fish and your favorite refreshment. We will provide the salad, a few snacks, paper products, cups, etc. Each of us is asked to contribute a few bucks to the kitty to cover expenses.

LADIES WINE AND CHEESE The next get together will be on Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012

at 6pm. Bring your favorite bev-erage and we’ll supply the hors d’oeuvres. We promise – nothing from the grill, but some lovely homemade goodies. Bring a friend and enjoy good food and fellowship.

CHRISTENING CELEBRATION:

Sara Kathryn Breza was baptized

on Sunday, August 19 at St.

Luke's. She is the daughter of

Amy Bouchard Breza and Dr. Jo-

seph Breza. Her grandparents,

Dr. Tom and Carolyn Breza, Drs. Doug and Nancy Smith and

Roger and Sheila Bouchard.

She was born on March 2,

2012 in Columbus, OH. Amy

and Joe felt it was very special to

have their firstborn baptized in

Amy's home church. Fr. Don has

been dubbed "the baby whis-

perer" as he was able to avert

any crying by Sara during the sac-

rament. Unfortunately, this gift

was not present during the nup-

tials of her parents in March

2010. Sara's mother was seen in

tears throughout the wedding

ceremony. Guess it only works

on babies…

Thank you Fr. Don and St.

Luke's family! -The Bouchard’s

DEACON’S CORNER, BY PHYLLIS DOTY

Cuba Update: The city of Matanzas survived the hurricane with only heavy rain. Of course, the church was flooded, but there was no other damage. Baby Sara is now 1 month old and Mtr. Tulia is recuperating well from the caesarian section and will be able to conduct the services at Fieles A Jesus in September. After the presenta-tion about our trip to Cuba, Glenn and Andy sold rosaries they had made and gave all the proceeds to Mtr. Tulia. We were able to send her $105 the next day by Western Union. My hopes for future relations with Fieles A

Jesus include sending Mtr. Tulia at least $30 a month to augment her salary and more that she can use for her discretionary fund. If you would like to contribute to that financial aid, please put your check in the Sunday offering and designate it for CUBA.

English Classes: Classes will start on Sept.10 and will be held

every Monday and Thursday nights until Decem-

ber. If you would like to help host the classes

with refreshments, please let Deacon Phyllis

know. Thanks so much for all your support for

these classes.

LIFE LINE SCREENING St. Luke's will host a Life Line screening on Tuesday, October 9th. You need to pre-register for the testing. They are offering a $10 gift to St. Luke's and to each participant when you call or FAX to the designated numbers. See the bulletin board in the Parish Hall and handouts are on the table inside the front door.
