Send letters
As part of the nationwide letter-writing campaign in the Catholic Church, St. Luke parish signed letters to Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey and Rep. Mike Kelly. The letters urged support for the Respect of Conscience Act currently pending in Congress which would allow faith-based organizations to minister to all people according to the teachings of their church without fear of fine or discrimination by the federal or state government. Pictured are Pat Black, Pastoral Council president; Darrell Harlan, Grand Knight, Youngsville Council 13006, Knights of Columbus; and Fr. John Neff, Pastor of St. Luke Church.
