Necrology for Saint Luke Church - Updated 23 September 2011
Our pastor, Father Bush speaks often of the Coporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. One of those Spiritual Works of Mercy is to pray for the dead. We have established an online necrology--a list of people and the dates of their death--of Saint Luke's parishioners and their family and friends as well as clergy that have been special to us. It is still in its infancy but what we have at present is available here. To access it, simply click on the cross to the side of this paragraph.
