Honoring the tradition of First Holy Communion at St. Luke’s, we are organizing a series of catechism classes for young children in the Spring culminating with a "First Communion” ceremony during Eastertide 2025. While all baptized Christians of any age may receive communion in the Episcopal Church, these classes would be suitable for all children, four to nine years of age, who would be benefit from a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith as taught in the Episcopal Church. Please contact the church office if there is a child in your family whom you would like to participate.

This Fall, St. Luke’s launched a new initiative for children and parents/caregivers called "Play Cafe." A portion of our Parish House will be open on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. as space for children to play together and for parents/caregivers to take a much needed breather during their busy week. Coffee and use of our WIFI network will be available to adults, and toys and activities will be available for the kids. We are looking for volunteers to help lead kids’ activities and read stories. Please contact Fr. Dave stlukesnewtownrector@gmail.com or the Parish Office stlukeschurchpa@verizon.net or  (215) 968-2781 if you’re able to assist.

This year-long Bible Study takes us through all the major points on the Old Testament.
