PARISH OUTREACH...
REACHING OUT DURING COVID
Due to Covid19, the last six months have been very challenging for all of us. St Luke's Outreach has remained committed to serving all those in need. Whether it is by text, email or telephone, we remained available to anyone who sought help. Here are a few examples of how we have reached out during Covid:
In early April we compiled a list of 150 homebound seniors over 85. Each week they were called by some of our staff. It was important for us to determine if they had support from family or friends. We encouraged them not to go out, but offered to do their grocery shopping and pick up their prescriptions. Because many lived alone and felt isolated, these friendly calls from St Luke's became their lifeline. They were particularly happy when we told them how to watch St Luke's Sunday mass on our local TV station!
Because many people lost their jobs due to Covid, food insecurity became a huge source of worry. Our ability to help became a bit like the "Loaves and the Fishes"...almost immediately, Outreach began receiving donations of gift cards and checks from you...our parish family. Only then were we able to reach out and provide grocery cards and assistance to an incredible amount of families. As always, their gratitude was overwhelming. Thank you for your continued generosity!
St Luke's Outreach was also asked to be a part of the Westborough Covid19 Task Force. We met on Zoom calls several times a week in an effort to join forces and come up with solutions to help those struggling due to the pandemic. It has been a wonderful experience working with so many dedicated, creative people. Outreach also is part of a small group who are able to apply for grant money from the Covid19 Fund. As a result, we have been able to help many families who continue to face financial insecurity.
As we move forward during these uncertain times, St Luke's will continue to reach out to those who are in need.

St. Luke’s Parish Familypresents... A GRIEF SERIES:
Every human being has a great, yet often unknown, gift to care, to be
compassionate, to become present to the other, to listen, to hear and
to receive...
Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in
grief, and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart, can break
through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship,
the fellowship of the broken.
-Henri J.M. Nouwen

Prayer in Time of Pandemic
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters and deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son: Be not afraid, for I am with you always.
Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants; give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour, that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church,delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen -
