Thank You!<br />

On behalf of the Marianist<br />

community here at Lusaka,<br />

Zambia, I want to thank you<br />

all at <strong>St</strong> <strong>Luke</strong>’s Parish for<br />

such generosity. We are<br />

amazed at the outpouring of<br />

religious articles, rosaries,<br />

religious medals, statues,<br />

holy cards, religious pictures,<br />

etc. and Sudoko puzzles. This<br />

bottomless pit here in Africa<br />

just might be starting to get<br />

filled with your help. Thank<br />

you so much again, and I<br />

hope to see you all in two or<br />

three years when I come<br />

home for another visit. You<br />

are all in my daily prayers.<br />

Fr. Mike Nartker, S.M.<br />

Sunday Offertory Enhancement Initiative to Begin: Between<br />

Aug 2010 and Dec 2011, all parishes in the Archdiocese are to<br />

participate in a 9-week program to increase weekly offerings.The<br />

program includes bulletin and pulpit announcements, several<br />

mailings to parishioners and briefs talks at mass. Mindful of the<br />

state of the economy, Pastoral Council recommended Saint <strong>Luke</strong><br />

participate between Sep 25-26 and Nov 20-21. The effort is twofold:<br />

appeal message and parishioner response. Pastoral Council<br />

acknowledges with gratitude both past and present parishioner<br />

generosity. The appeal will ask everyone to prayerfully consider<br />

their current level of giving and whether that amount is still appropriate<br />

or can be increased in their circumstance.<br />

Do you like to have fun with other students working in teams<br />

to solve challenging problems? If so, then Destination ImagiNation<br />

is the activity for you! DI is a fun competition that fosters<br />

creativity in students. Parents, DI is a great way to introduce your<br />

student to theater, arts and crafts, and playwriting as well as problem<br />

solving. <strong>St</strong> <strong>Luke</strong> PTO sponsors several DI teams each year<br />

and these teams compete in March against other Miami Valley<br />

schools for fun and awards. <strong>St</strong> <strong>Luke</strong> DI is open to students from<br />

grades 2 thru 8, and is open to PSR students as well. Teams are<br />

usually formed of 4-7 students of similar grade levels and two<br />

parents are needed to manage each team. The web-site for more<br />

information is www.ohdixiv.org<br />

There will be a fun Destination Imagination organizational meeting<br />

at 7:00-8:30 PM on Thursday, September 23, 2010 in the Parish Center.<br />

The meeting will be hosted by Jim Martz, <strong>St</strong> <strong>Luke</strong> DI Coordinator,<br />

who will explain the DI program, sign up students, and organize<br />

teams for the 2010-2011 season. The meeting will also feature exciting<br />

hands-on puzzles and challenges for all ages. If you are new to DI, attend<br />

the meeting - if your student is familiar with DI and wants to sign up<br />

but can not attend the meeting, forms will be available in the school office.<br />

We are looking for parents to serve in critical roles this year, so<br />

think outside your box and get involved with DI. Contact Jim Martz at<br />
