                                                          Parish Mission Statement
       We are members of Saint Luke Parish, a Roman Catholic Christian Community of Faith within the Diocese of Youngstown.
                                       We are deeply rooted in both Scripture and Tradition.
   Born in Baptism and sustained by the celebration of the Eucharist, we embrace our life in Christ through prayer and sacrament,
               service and outreach, proclamation of the Word and formation in faith. Guided by the Holy Spirit and
          motivated by our love of God and of all people, we are both sign and an instrument of the Kingdom of Promise.
             Our unique blessing and gift is that we are a parish family which creates a warm and welcoming worship
                         environment and participates fully in the planning and celebration of the Liturgy.
