We are collecting children’s clothes, bicycles, blankets, domestic goods, and books for the Tariro Children’s Home, the Shearly-Cripps Orphanage, and the St. Augustine’s Orphanage. Shipping ContainerWe are also collecting liturgical goods, vestments, theological books, and clergy supplies for the dispossessed churches of Harare and Manicaland. This container will be sent in Autumn of 2011, and we are looking for partners to help us fill it and ship it. Please contact the parish office if you can help.
Establishing Global Partnerships

St. Luke’s is working to help tell the story of the church in Zimbabwe by increasing awareness in our diocese and community. We have introduced Bp. Chad Gandiya to the Diocese of Chicago’s Commission of Global Ministry, and to Bp. Jeff Lee. Conversations are currently taking place about how we can work together in the future.

During Holy Week of 2010, St. Luke’s was visited by Fr. Nicolas Stebbing CR, a native Zimbabwean and a monk, who taught us about his work with the orphans and churches of his homeland, and invited us to think about ways that we could help.

St. Luke’s began to take on special fundraiser projects to help the orphanages that Fr. Nicolas brought to our attention. Monthly raffles began at coffee hour, and our first ever Lobsterfest (October 2010) was a great success.

Four members of St. Luke’s began to make plans to join Fr. Nicolas on his January 2011 trip to Zimbabwe. Collection of donations began, and the details of the trip began to take shape.

On January 23, 2011, the Sunday of our departure, St. Luke’s wardens commissioned our mission team at the main service. We left from the service to begin the trip.
