Vocations & Service

  
   Are You Being Called to Serve?

   “Come follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”
   -Matthew 4:9

St. Luke Parish is in need of people who wish to serve as Eucharistic Ministers (at Mass and for the Homebound), Lectors, Ushers, Sacristans and more areas of service. Help make your parish more active by sharing your faith and talents. Please call our Pastoral Office at (626) 291-5900 for more information.

Is the Holy Spirit trying to get your attention? Are you thinking that, perhaps, God is inviting you to use your gifts and talents as a priest? The Church in Los Angeles needs young men to come forward to share the love of Christ with the diverse people that make up the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. 

Be an instrument of hope, of encouragement and of faith. Lead your brothers and sisters in prayer, community building and the celebration of the sacraments.

The Society of Jesus (Jesuits), founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola, are “companions of Jesus” called to serve a world in need, sharing Christ’s mission of justice and reconciliation. The Jesuits are a religious community of priests and brothers sent to all corners of the world to share the Good News of our faith, to promote justice, and to foster greater dialogue between different religions and cultures. Seek the greater glory of God and the development of a more humane and sustainable world. Become the change for the world.

Proclaiming and passing on our Catholic faith is an essential part of our mission. Dedicated women and men in all our parishes share the Gospel message with our young people and prepare them for the sacraments. So can you!  If you wish to become a certified catechist our archdiocese offers programs for certification.

There many ways in which you can volunteer time in serving God’s People, especially those in need. You can serve others because you want to be involved in ongoing Christian service, or perhaps you are looking for service hours for your school or confirmation program.
