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 />

serve the common good and, ultimately, the realization of God’s reign of justice and peace “on<br />
earth as in heaven” (Mt 6:10) ‐ Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, #61<br />

Saint <strong>Luke</strong>'s Destination ImagiNation - Organizational Meeting.<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 />
