Shrove Tuesday comes from the word “shrive”, meaning “absolution following confession”. Christians everywhere traditionally visit their church on Shrove Tuesday to confess their sins and cleanse their soul before Ash Wednesday. As we enter into this Lenten season, we took time in religion class to focus on prayer, fasting and giving alms. Today, we discussed lent and the 40 days of preparation while we enjoyed the tradition of a feast of Shrove Tuesday pancakes! #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes #shrovetuesday #pancakes

St. Luke’s Outreach Center is proud to award this year’s Christian Witness Award to the much deserving, Jodi Parks. 🫶🏻🙌🏻✨ Jodi is an exemplary teacher, and she holds each student to a high standard because she believes in the immense potential in each of them. She sees the gift that God has given them, even when they may not see it themselves. Jodi shares her faith with ease, as it is integrated into everything she does. She prays with her students every day. She takes students to church with her often. She led a small Bible study group with only three students. Jodi is always willing to share her faith. 🙏🏼 It is not only our students that benefit from Jodi’s unwavering faith. Mrs. Parks is the faith leader for our staff, and she brings a personal touch to our faith discussions, staff prayer and lectio. Her vulnerability and openness are a gift to everyone she encounters, and she is a true witness to Christ and his love. Congratulations Jodi, and thank you for everything you do to make St. Luke’s such a special place. #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes #ctrcatholic #christianwitness #ibelieveincatholiceducation

Our students in Brooks spent some time today serving ice cream sandwiches and visiting the seniors at Newbrook Lodge . Serving the community helps our students grow in their faith and skills and is an important component of life at St. Luke’s. Honestly, it was more fun and heart warming than anything else. Thanks again to Newbrook Lodge for always welcoming us! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #servingothers

Our students have been embracing the spirit of advent. The pinnacle was when a group of students volunteered to lead music at our advent mass at the seniors home, Newbrook Lodge . One of our students, Justice Appiah lead with guitar and the rest of us sang a joyful noise. The students practiced on their breaks and free time. They were so full of courage and faith. We are so proud. We also enjoyed skating and shared some acts of kindness for each other that had to be homemade. It lead the students to really needing to get to know the person they were paired with . We feel blessed by our advent journey and our hearts are ready for Christmas . #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind

Michael B. is one of our student athletes. This is his first year with @stlukesoutreach.ctr and while he is one of ours, he has earned to opportunity to play basketball for the HTA Senior Boys team. This is a shot from Friday’s game against Father Lacombe at the Tournament at St. Francis High School. The Knights went on to win the tournament undefeated! Coach Macleod (assistant coach) had this to say about Michael: “Since his arrival, Michael has been a strong presence in the post, utilizing his size and strength for key rebounds and a soft touch around the hoop for quick put-backs. Beyond his on-court contributions, he has also proven to be a fantastic teammate and a great ambassador for HTA/St. Luke’s.” Thank you to @holytrinityacademy.ctr and their coaching staff for giving our students a chance to try out with your teams! It is truly one of things that makes @ctrcatholic a great place to be! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #basketball #community #faithhopelove
