Thanks to a gift from an anonymous donor, St. Luke was happy to distribute copies of Matthew Kelly's newest book as a Christmas gift to all who celebrated the birth of Christ with us this year. The book, entitled The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity is the perfect followup to Christmas with its attention to the reasons we're so unhappy despite all the material and cultural wealth we have in our society. To learn more about the book, click on the image above to hear about it in the author's own words.

Join Us in the Renew My Church Prayer

All parishes in the Archdiocese of Chicago are participating in the Renew My Church Initiative as we look at ways to collaborate with each other to make a more vibrant, inviting church for all to see and join. This initiative is founded in Jesus Christ's call to us to constantly renew His Church by making disciples, building strong and resilient faith communities, and inspiring witness at every level. While St. Luke is not in the first waves of parishes to begin this revitalization process, we do join our prayers for our archdiocese and those parishes that are at the forefront. Please join our parishioners in the video above in offering the Renew My Church Prayer as a sign of solidarity with our fellow Catholics across the Chicagoland area.
