How are you deepening your faith during this Lenten season? If the answer is giving up chocolate or junk food — we have something better.
We invite you to go deep this Lent, and we've developed a prayer resource to help you do just that. During this 5-Day Lenten Jump Start, you'll receive step-by-step guidance as you examine your life and discover how the Lord is calling you to draw closer to Himself this Lent. This prayer resource includes:
On each of the five days, you'll receive an email with practical steps to help you more-fully enter into the season of Lent. Whether you have a plan for your Lenten disciplines or you are still unsure of what to do, this resource will help you make the most of every day during this sacred season. Sign up below to receive this free resource, and please know that all of us at St. Luke's are praying with you and for you as we journey through Lent.
St. Luke’s is a Catholic parish within the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter located in Fort Washington, Maryland. Originally an Anglo-Catholic parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, we were received and confirmed into the Catholic Church on October 9, 2011, by the Archbishop of Washington, Donald Cardinal Wuerl. We fully uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Our liturgy is celebrated according to the Divine Worship Missal [promulgated in 2015], which beautifully integrates traditional Book of Common Prayer language and prayers, (Elizabethan English and Anglican prayers), into the liturgy. As such, we are in full communion with the Holy See and fulfill the regular Sunday obligation.
Established by Pope Benedict XVI in accordance with the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus of November 2009 in order to enable “groups of Anglicans to join the Catholic Church while preserving elements of their liturgical and spiritual patrimony,” members of the Personal Ordinariates are Roman Catholics of the Latin Rite, within the full communion of the Catholic Church.
You can learn more about the history of St. Luke's here and join us for our liturgy every Sunday at 11. To learn more about our special liturgy and other Mass times, click here.
