St Luke Catholic Church Mint Hill

One of the «smaller» catholic church communities in the Charlotte area, St Luke’s has a close-​knit community feel and great services and outreach programs (as do most Catholic churches).
Right off of Lawyers Rd on the Mint Hill outskirts, St. Luke’s is fairly convenient from my parents house. The parking lot is fairly small (more parking in the back). I think the parish is fairly new, so they have a gorgeous worship space (no kneelers yet… I think they are saving up for pews). The sanctuary itself reminds me of an upscale log cabin/​barn from the inside with soaring wood rafters and ceiling. The actual setup is a bit awkward with the alter on the side, but it allows for everyone to be closer and provides an intimate church-​going experience.
The church actually has a functional bell that the children take turns ringing after masses… It’s pretty entertaining to watch them pull with all their might to get the bell going.
