Care & Support Ministries
We're here to help
Rooted in the teachings of Christ and inspired by the love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Caring & Support Ministry offers spiritual, emotional and practical support to individuals and families in need. Through prayerful accompaniment and compassionate service, we seek to foster hope, healing and unity within our parish community.
The purpose of the Caring & Support Ministry is to embody Christ’s love by offering spiritual, emotional, and practical support to those experiencing life’s difficulties. Guided by compassion and the teachings of the Gospel

Visitation
The Church of St. Luke has a visitation ministry with volunteers available to visit anyone who is homebound, unable to get to Mass, recovering from a surgery or for any other reason that would like to be visited by a member of our parish to stay connected with St. Luke.
We can provide fellowship, bring books from our Parish Lending Library and at times even provide rides to Mass.
If you would like a visit or know someone in our parish who would, please contact contact Rich Warcholik by email at hello@thechurchofstluke.org or by phone at (619) 933-8468.
We are here for you and truly care for all our parishioners.
