Rev. Robert A. Cross portrait with cross
 

We mourn the loss of Reverend Robert A. Cross, a faithful friend of St. Luke Parish.
 

Fr. Cross was a familiar face around St. Luke, from his years as a student at St. Luke Parish School to his first Mass in St. Luke Church after his ordination to the priesthood. While he was never assigned to St. Luke Parish, he assisted with Masses and sacraments and was a friendly presence at many of our parish events for nearly 20 years after he retired as pastor at neighboring Ascension Parish in Oak Park. He passed into eternal life on June 9, just six months after turning 90. We will miss him.

Easy Sign-up for Online Giving Minimize

GiveCentral offers an easy, convenient way to support St. Luke Parish

Online giving is a safe, convenient, and easy way to make gifts whether it's for your weekly Sunday offering or a one-time gift, such as for special national collections. Once you sign up, you will be able to manage your giving preferences at any time, and you won't have to worry about writing a check or carrying cash to church each week. You can manage it anywhere you have an internet connection 24/7.

 
Online giving helps St. Luke, too, by giving us a predictable cash flow that we can plan on and by ensuring that a gift is received even when bad weather, illness or travel prevent Mass attendance. Please, if you haven't already, sign up today by visiting our secure GiveCentral page here.
 
On behalf of the entire staff, we thank you for all the prayers and financial contributions you provide so that our parish can be present and serving you.
