St. Luke's Episcopal Church History
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was founded on June 7, 1844. The Church is located in the heart of New Haven close to the prestigious Yale University. It is situated at the southern end of Whalley Avenue, a main commercial artery in New Haven. The church is surrounded by many small storefront businesses and a mere five minute walk from Yale’s affluent university properties and retail businesses.
St. Luke’s is a predominantly African American/Caribbean congregation, and the fourth oldest black Episcopal Church in the United States. It is worth noting that Alexander DuBois, grandfather of W.E.B DuBois, the great African American civil rights leader and historian, was one of the Church’s founding members. Also, among its early rectors was The Rev. James Theodore Holly (1829-1911), the first African-American Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States. Around 1861, Rev. Holly established the Episcopal Church in Haiti. Rev. Holly was later given charge of the Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic (1897-1911). He was subsequently added to the Episcopal Church calendar in 2006. St. Luke’s has also played a crucial role in assimilating immigrants from the Caribbean and other countries into the local society.
The Church's mission to the poor and disadvantaged, as evidenced in its outreach programs, has been and remains an important extension of the spiritual life of the congregation. We hope our new rector will embrace the church’s history and be a vital part of its future. In the following pages, we invite you to join our mission to serve Jesus Christ and spread the Good News.
You will be welcomed by a congregation dedicated to St. Luke’s and its mission to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. You will find a congregation that is steeped in ministry to the sick and shut in, and other areas of care where necessary. You will find a friendly atmosphere at St. Luke’s. St. Luke’s has a rich history; some members relish the past while supporting the goals of the future. Others view change as a challenge. We seek a consensus among members that in order to grow our church we have to enhance our Outreach ministry and Christian education. Having activities for children, youth and adults is paramount to our success.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13
