Senior Adults
Welcome to this site to obtain Saint Luke’s Senior Adult Ministry
information. I am excited that we have this space share all the great things
that are available. I encourage the retired and semi retired adults and those of
you who know someone who may be interested to check this site often for updated
events. Both Saint Luke’s senior adult parishioners and friends in the
community are welcome to attend any of the events that are of interest. Saint
Luke’s Senior Adult Ministry strives to be an advocate of positive
attitude towards aging, seeing this season of life as a part of the journey and
a continuation of abundant life in Christ.
