**Baptism Certificates need to be turned in now (if your child received his/her Baptism at St. Luke's Church, please send in a note stating the date of his/her Baptism!)
Please take note:
1. Attire: Girls: white Communion dress or Easter Sunday dress. Since the children will be receiving Eucharist in their hands, it is recommended that they NOT wear gloves, which will have to be removed and may get lost.
Boys: dress pants, dress shirt and tie, suit jacket optional.
Please no sneakers
If you are in need of a communion outfit, please contact the Faith Formation office at 347-9955, we will be able to help.
2. Photots: It is the policy of St. Luke's parish that photos are not allowed during mass. Video Cameras are not allowed in Church. Cell phones need to be turned off during Mass. Please convey this message to visiting family members. Following Mass, pictures may be taken with Fr. Isopo, around the altar, with family members and friends!
3. First Eucharist Certificates: Children will receive their certificates at the end of Mass.
4. Communion Procedures: The children will receive communion first. The rest of the congregation will receive after them.
