Abbot’s Welcome
Greetings, favored one!
In case you’re wondering what sort of greeting this might be, I want to welcome you to the webpage for the Order of Saint Luke. Whether you are a long-time member, someone looking for a community and wanting to learn more, or someone who has stumbled upon our page accidentally, I’m glad you’re here!
The Order of Saint Luke is many things: we are an ecumenical, world-wide, dispersed religious order, we are a home and respite for all who love the liturgy, we are a praying community of support and fellowship for our members… at our heart, however, we are guided by two foundational pillars. We are devoted to sacramental and liturgical scholarship, education, and practice – in the words of our Rule of Life and Service, we magnify the sacraments and promote the corporate worship of the Church. Also, we are rooted in a particularly Lukan spirituality – we seek the sacramental life and we affirm the apostolic hope.
Please explore the material you can find on these pages, and feel free to reach out to us (you can contact any of the leaders of the Order on the “About: Leadership” page). Whether you’d like to join one of our on-line daily office prayer times or come on retreat with us in October (see “Events”), whether you’d like to pursue becoming a member, or if you simply have questions… we’d be happy to share more about ourselves and support you in your journey.
Blessings from a fellow traveler,
Sr. Heather, Abbot
