Saint Luke the Evangelist — October 23

We will celebrate the feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, patron of this parish, on Sunday, October 23.  He was a Greek physician, a disciple of Saint Paul, and author of the Acts of the Apostles and of the third gospel.  His writings emphasize Christ’s compassion.  Luke became the patron of artists, doctors and surgeons, and his symbol is an ox.
