Nursery
Mission Statement: To use our patience, energy and fun-loving spirit to love, teach, and care for the children so that parents can enjoy a peaceful Mass and enrich their parish.
 
St. Luke Nursery is available for children from infancy to age four. Our goal is to provide these children with a nurturing environment so that they may experience God’s love as they play and learn. Our nursery provides families the opportunity to attend the 11:00 am Sunday Mass while knowing their child is being cared for in a safe and loving environment. St. Luke Nursery staff consists of outstanding capable members of our Church who have completed a screening process which includes fingerprinting, a background check and completion of the Protecting God’s Children workshop.

Annulment Companions Ministry
Mission Statement: The purpose of my ministry is to use my training and knowledge of the Code of Canon Law, as it pertains to the annulment process, to ease the frustration and confusion associated with the gift of annulment. Through careful management and encouragement, the Parishioner is motivated to journey toward Sacramental reflection and healing.

Annulment Companions are volunteers who have completed courses in this area of Canon Law at the Diocese of St. Augustine. They are appointed by the Parish priest and serve as conduits from the Parishioner to the priest and the Tribunal. Their role is a supportive one, helping individuals sort through the confusion and frustration of the annulment process. By interviewing an individual, the companion is able to ascertain the appropriate steps required.

They provide the paperwork along with instruction for completion of all documents. When the paperwork and fees are returned to the companion, the request is filed with the Tribunal. The companion will monitor the progress of the case and will provide feedback as necessary. This process is done in strictest confidence. The companion assists Parishioners to reconcile with their Faith.
