St. Luke Catholic Church is a special place. Whether it is the unique location and construction of the church or the tight knit spiritual community or the fantastic music programs, coming to mass at or getting involved with St. Luke Church is indeed something special.

As I write this, our house is filled to the ceiling with moving boxes and we will make our final move to CT on Monday:( I have been thinking alot about leaving our family and friends here in Charlotte. On our first visits to St. Lukes back in 1994, I was struck by the friendly, warm atmosphere and liked seeing people really enjoying the Mass, really singing, and being able to laugh in church. Despite having grown up Catholic (attending St. Ann's and CCHS), I never really got involved. At first, Shelley was the most active in the playgroup, hospitality, and faith formation. I was mostly known as "Shelley's Husband". While that is an honor in it's itself, it made me realize that I'd been a 'pew potato' for too long. Now came the dilemma - where to start. We owe much thanks to those who reached out to us. I think I first became active in helping Hamid and Tina Rabiipour in the Sr. High Youth Group, which then led to my being a sponsor for two of our Sr. High youth in the RCIA program. From RCIA, I got to know Sr. Veronica, who got me involved in the development of our Servant Leadership Team. I was also a member of the Knights of Columbus before I came to St. Lukes, but not very active in the St. John Neumann Council. Thanks to a good friend, Bill Hamm, I was a part of the effort to start a KofC Council at St. Lukes in the fall of 2000. With the support of Fr. Joe and over 30 other KofC members at St. Lukes, we formed a Council #12832 and I was honored to serve as the Charter Grand Knight. I share this history not out of pride, but as an example of what is possible when you open yourself up to serving God and his church. I had no idea of what I had to offer. Every journey starts with the first step. (Thanks to everyone who gave me a push). That's what St. Luke means to me - not just a place to go to Mass on Sunday, but a place were you can make that first step in many different directions. It's a place where, because of the first steps we took, our lives and souls have been forever touched by so many special people. It's where our children grew, and where we have grown in our faith. It's definately a place that's worth supporting with our time, talent and treasure. Vivat Jesus!

At St. Luke's, the Holy Spirit is alive and well in its people! Our family has found here the truest form of a Christian community where all are loved and accepted! Thank you to Fr. Jim, Sr. Veronica and all you wonderful folks at St. Luke's who joyfully live out your mission as Christ's love in the world.

Saint Luke is the foundation of my faith journey....the place where I connected with God and could experience his love and ultimately became Baptised. One year later my Baptismal prayer was answered and I was blessed with a baby daughter who also was baptised at Saint Luke. Saint Luke has become my husband's church home and is the place we continue to seek God's divine love , forgiveness and mercy.

Moving from the North to the South is not easy. The people of St. Luke's, however,made us feel so welcome that I really feel this is now our home. Not only did I learn to feel comfortable, but I think I have found I am really a southerner at heart.I know we sometimes get too involved at the church, but I just want to give back where ever I can. Thank you.

When I first moved here in 1998, I picked the parish because it was closest to my new home. There was a transition of moving from memories of my old Amherst NY parish into this new community. St Luke offers so many faith activities and places such a high value on volunteers and faith formation. I now realize that God is creating something really new for us here. The doors to contribute and to be challenged have opened wide to a new "family", very dear to my heart.

I really enjoy the music at St. Luke. Having so many talented choirs adds a sense of excitement to the masses because you never know which group will be there to sing.
