Thomas R. Lukes

About the Author Thomas R. Lukes is a lifelong Catholic and a retired architect. As an architect, he worked on many church-related and school projects. When he was thirty, he had a special encounter with God that motivated him to live his life for God while serving his church. Today, he serves as lector and Eucharistic minister at his parish. For five years, he served as lay director of the Cursillo movement in Monterey, California, and was editor of the Cursillo newsletter, which he named Rekindle. In 2011, Lukes was part of Bishop Richard Garcia’s committee to bring Immaculate Heart Radio® to the Monterey Bay area. On Oct 14, 2016 Immaculate Heart Radio® merged with Relevant Radio® and is a great source of Catholic teaching for the layman of the Church. Proceeds from his books (God Incidents and God Incidents II) go to support Catholic education in the Diocese of Monterey. God Incidents III should be out in 2011. Lukes and his wife have three sons and six grandchildren. In his retirement, Lukes enjoys daily Mass, weekly Bible studies, reading, and playing golf—as well as interviewing storytellers and writing about their “God incidents.”
