Evening At St. Lukes

Since most activities occur at St. Luke Parish during the daylight hours, many do not have the chance to see how beautiful the bell tower and stained glass windows look at night. This bell tower is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack of September 11th. St. Luke will be having a special memorial service on september 11 for those who perished on that terrible day. The church will be open all day for visitors to remember and view the beam from the world trade center.
