Pastoral Care
We are here for you.
St. Luke's clergy, pastoral staff, and lay volunteers provide pastoral care to individual parishioners as needed in a variety of circumstances and at all ages and stages of life.
Eucharistic Visitors are lay people who are trained by clergy and licensed by our bishop to administer the consecrated bread and wine to those who are unable to come to church. Visits typically take place in parishioners' homes, hospital rooms, or at hospice. Eucharistic Visitors are sent out from church with a prayer by the congregation on Sunday mornings.
In the name of this congregation, we send you out bearing these holy gifts, that those to whom you go may share with us in the communion of Christ's Body and Blood. We who are many are one body, because we all share one bread, one cup. Amen.
St. Luke's offers prayers asking for healing of body, mind, and spirit during worship services. Every Wednesday, healing prayers are offered at the 5:30 PM Healing Eucharist in the Chapel.
Clergy and pastoral staff visit area hospitals regularly to see parishioners known to have been admitted. Please use the form below to let us know about a hospitalization.
St. Luke's maintains a public prayer list, published in weekly parish communications, and a confidential prayer list shared only with clergy and pastoral staff. With permission, people may be added to the public and confidential lists by full name or first name only and will normally remain on the list for one month unless the request is renewed.
