LUX YOUTH MINISTRY
The first goal of SLE's Youth Ministry is to empower our young Church to live as disciples of Jesus! We know that being a Catholic can seem daunting in a world with a million distractions and struggles, so LUX (named for the Latin word which means LIGHT! and well, because it sounds like "Luke's"!) has a commitment to help them be nourished by the Good News of Jesus through the witness and word of role models and ministers committed to their spiritual and emotional growth through all sorts of teen led Bible studies, service opportunities, great retreats, fun social events, trips to the Archdiocese of New Orleans World Youth Day, trips to international World Youth Day, and so much more!

Who can help: Confirmed Catholics (17+) who are open to helping bring out the best in youth (Grade 4 - High school seniors) and who have undergone Safe Environment Training

When: Different events have different times. Check here for more information

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL
AND 4TH DEGREE ASSEMBLY
The Knights render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled, and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief, and public relief works.

At Saint Luke, we have a Council (#9973) and a 4th Degree Assembly (Father Seelos Assembly #2321) specifically for Knights who have attained the Fourth Degree, the highest degree within the order and which focuses on patriotic activities and community service. Our KCs often participate in events throughout the parish, especially providing assistance for Good Samaritan Ministry, FIRE and BLAZE nights, and more, along with support for other community organizations like local Special Olympics. They host annual events like their popular Golf Tournament and Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser in October of each year, as well as their many other events throughout the year.

Who can help: Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. As a Knight, you can choose the projects to be involved in within your own community. You will receive regular updates from your state council regarding news and events in your area and be presented with frequent opportunities to work alongside brother Knights in local councils.

When: Our KC Council meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. Fourth Degree meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.
