Nursery
Mission Statement: To use our patience, energy and fun-loving spirit to love, teach, and care for the children so that parents can enjoy a peaceful Mass and enrich their parish.
 
St. Luke Nursery is available for children from infancy to age four. Our goal is to provide these children with a nurturing environment so that they may experience God’s love as they play and learn. Our nursery provides families the opportunity to attend the 11:00 am Sunday Mass while knowing their child is being cared for in a safe and loving environment. St. Luke Nursery staff consists of outstanding capable members of our Church who have completed a screening process which includes fingerprinting, a background check and completion of the Protecting God’s Children workshop.

Council of Catholic Women

St. Luke’s Council of Catholic Women unites Catholic women in purpose, direction, and action in religious, educational, social and economic fields. We serve as a medium through which the Catholic women of St. Luke’s may speak and act on matters of common interest. We are committed in our efforts to carry out our mission of our parish, deanery, diocesan and national councils by supporting various charities. Our membership is open to all Catholic women who subscribe to the objectives of the CCW. We meet on the last Sunday of each month from 9:30 AM-10:30 AM in the Hope Room.

Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel Patroness to the National Council of Catholic Women
God of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide ad counselor.  Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.  O Mother of Good counsel, Patroness of the National Counsel of Catholic Women, intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous and loving leaders of the Church.  Help us, dear mother to know the mind of Jesus, your son.  May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation.  May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.  Amen.

The National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) acts through its affiliated organizations to support, empower, and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership, and service.  CCW programs respond with Gospel values to the needs of the Church and society in the modern world. In our affiliation we offer many opportunities: to develop spirituality, learn more about current issues, share with women of like values, care for those in need through community outreach, advocate on vital legislation, and encourage women to attend dynamic workshops and conventions.

Annulment Companions Ministry
Mission Statement: The purpose of my ministry is to use my training and knowledge of the Code of Canon Law, as it pertains to the annulment process, to ease the frustration and confusion associated with the gift of annulment. Through careful management and encouragement, the Parishioner is motivated to journey toward Sacramental reflection and healing.

Annulment Companions are volunteers who have completed courses in this area of Canon Law at the Diocese of St. Augustine. They are appointed by the Parish priest and serve as conduits from the Parishioner to the priest and the Tribunal. Their role is a supportive one, helping individuals sort through the confusion and frustration of the annulment process. By interviewing an individual, the companion is able to ascertain the appropriate steps required.

They provide the paperwork along with instruction for completion of all documents. When the paperwork and fees are returned to the companion, the request is filed with the Tribunal. The companion will monitor the progress of the case and will provide feedback as necessary. This process is done in strictest confidence. The companion assists Parishioners to reconcile with their Faith.
