And may God, who by the Incarnation brought together the earthly and heavenly realm, fill you with the gift of his peace and favor and make you sharers with the Church in heaven.

From the School CHESS NUTS PROGRAM AT SAINT LUKE SCHOOL We completed our fall session of Chess Nuts on Monday, December 3, 2018. We had 21 children enrolled in the program for 8 weeks this session and as usual it was a really nice group of children. We have been running the program at Saint Luke School since January 2011. The improvement in their chess skills is very apparent with each session and it makes for a competitive tournament. We have two instructors to allow the newer students get separate instruction until they are brought up to speed. There was an unprecedented six-way tie for first place this season! First place prizes were awarded to Franco Aleo, Antonia Ballek, Frank Lettera, Kenny Loonan, Ryan Ma and Ryan Zuccarello. Honorable mention trophies were awarded to Jack Lercara, Nicholas Noonan and Anthony Nuccio. Medals were awarded to the rest of the participants. We look forward to playing chess again this winter. 9

The youth sang two Christmas songs and then some of the girls performed Irish Dancing - a great treat to all. Then the youth sat at the tables holding conversation with the sisters. It was time now for the goodies and gifts for the sisters. It was a reason to celebrate the season seeing our youth bringing joy to all of them. Please keep all these sisters in your prayers. They have dedicated so many years of service and ministry to God s people. At 6pm our Youth Group had their Christmas Party along with the Altar Servers.
