St Lukes San Lucas Blessing of the Renovation in Chelsea

On Saturday, February 21^st, between 7:30 am and 1 pm, many of us joined Father Edgar’s St Luke’s San Lucas’ community in Chelsea to celebrate the just completed beautiful kitchen, food pantry and parish hall renovations.  Many of us joined Father Edgar's parish in a special ceremonial blessing of the renovation led by Bishop Alan Gates. 

   

Chris Berns and Ralph Engstrom were the breakfast chefs under the fearless leadership of Claudia Bell and her husband Chip, with a hard working supporting team of Stephanie Terry, Betsy Walsh, and Linda Brown, serving over 70 guests. Then Carol Hollingshead, Barbara DeWolf, Celia Ceruolo, Kate Reynolds and Chris Joseph stepped up to help serve a roast beef lunch with butternut squash ravioli coated in a delicious butter, garlic and parmesan sauce, with julienned vegetables and rich chocolate frosted chocolate brownies or brown sugar crumble coffee cake for dessert serving over 100 guests.  In between breakfast and lunch, Bishop Gates led our partnering communities, in a beautiful worship service bringing us all together in mission.   

On Thursday March 12^th all are invited to gather at Epiphany to paint bowls to help the Chelsea Bowls organization raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger.    The local organization, Chelsea Hunger Network, is holding their event on April 25^th where the ceramic bowls will be displayed then given away.   The money raised will go directly to food pantries and community kitchens in Chelsea including St Lukes.  We hope you will join us on March 12^th at Epiphany from 7:30 – 9 pm for wine, conversation and painting!
