The Food Angel Ministry is a very rewarding ministry for Parishioners who are in desperate need of someone cooking a warm meal for them. If you are a parishioner of St. Luke and are in need of some temporary food support (groceries or a hot home cooked meal) due to loss of income or unable to leave the house due to illness, please call the Parish Office at 281 481-6816.
 
El Ministerio de Alimentos Ángel es un ministerio muy gratificante para los feligreses que están en necesidad desesperada de alguien que cocina una comida caliente para ellos. Si usted es un feligrés de San Lucas y necesita algún apoyo temporal de alimentos (comestibles o comida caliente casera) debido a la pérdida de ingresos o incapacidad para salir de la casa debido a una enfermedad, por favor llame a la Oficina Parroquial al 281 481-6816.

H.U.G.S. is a group for widows. It originated in the summer of 2003 when Fr. Steve, one of our former pastors, saw a need for a group to minister to those who were alone due to the loss of a spouse. Fr. Steve asked one of our parishioners, Dee Rubens, to organize this ministry. Dee had never done anything like this before and did not know where to start. She called a few friends who were also widows and asked for their opinions. They thought it was a great idea for those in similar situations to be able to get together to help support each other. Since this was the main goal of the group, Dee decided on the name H.U.G.S. which stands for Help Us Give Support. H.U.G.S. fills the requirement  for people who enjoy being around others and who understand the need for companionship and friendship.

H.U.G.S. members will get together to attend plays, movies, have lunch or go to a nice restaurant for dinner. These outings are always fun and enjoyable for everyone!

If you have recently lost your spouse,or if you have been widowed for sometime,
H.U.G.S. is here for you.Don't spend time alone, join us.

We will welcome you with a big HUG!
