About the Award
The Saint Luke Award is given annually to someone whose professional life or charitable works embody the ideals of the Institute: the rebuilding of the spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual life of those in need. In undertaking these tasks, the honoree is motivated by the Gospel ideals of compassion, charity and a belief that all persons are brothers and sisters in Christ. The award is bestowed each year on or around the October 18 Feast of St. Luke.

Highlights from our 2025 Annual Benefit
Honoring Rev. Msgr. William ('Bill') English & Rev. Kenneth Phillips, TOR, MS
"There is nothing better than helping people know that they are loved by God. To me, that is the core of the Gospel, and we are called to share that love with others. We cannot do that if we don't experience that love ourselves. We cannot do that well if we are struggling with significant emotional or spiritual challenges. Saint Luke Institute helps a person become free enough to experience that love of God, and to share it in joy."
