WELCOME
Founded in 1885, St. Luke's is the oldest parish in the Episcopal diocese of Southwest Florida.
Our vision is to be an abiding witness in our community to the love and saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to worship God in the Anglican tradition of the one holy catholic and apostolic church, availing ourselves of the means of grace and awaiting our hope in glory.

NOTICE:
HERE WE GROW!
PATRONAL FEAST: Celebrate St. Luke, our patron, on Sunday October 18, in the Fellowship Hall. A lunch of Beef Bourguignonne and Banbury Cakes will be provided. Please make plans to join us in Christian Fellowship and sign up in the Parish Hall.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: Many of you showed interest in Operation Christmas Child this past Sunday. Through this ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, shoeboxes filled with gifts are delivered to children around the world, providing an opportunity to share the joy of Christmas and the message of God’s love.
If you would like to participate but need more information or a shoebox, please stop by the Daughters of the King (DOK) table in the Parish Hall during coffee hour on Sunday, October 11. We will have boxes and additional information available, and DOK members will be there to answer your questions and help you get started. The final collection date is Sunday, November 22.
THANK YOU! A huge thank-you to Saint Luke's Parish for your incredible response to our blanket drive for those experiencing homelessness. We received 28 blankets, 10 thermal blankets, and 6 sleeping bags. Daughters of the King members will be distributing them this week to All Souls and City Gate churches. Your generosity means so much!
OUR LEASE OPTION IS STILL AVAILABLE: In an effort to expand our ministry, with the help of Mayhugh Commercial Realty, we are making classroom and office space available for lease (NOT FOR SALE!). The leasing option is being promoted on the realtors’ website. This would be an ideal facility for a private school, day care, expanding church ministries or adult education. Please pray that we’ll have success as we consider leasing opportunities.
Listen to Our Latest Sermon: Proper 22; October 4, 2026
Today's Gospel passage tells yet another parable, this time of a landowner whose servants rebel against him. Canon Lester returns us to the catechism to remind us of the foundational ministry of the laity. Among those who are baptized we find many spiritual gifts that flow from the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
