St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was founded in 1913 as an outgrowth of All Saints Mission. Services were held in homes until November 1921, when the congregation moved to 726 East 223rd Street. On November 1, 1937, ground was broken for a new building, located on lots directly behind along East 222nd Street. This church was completed toward the end of 1938 and was dedicated on Sunday, February 6, 1938.
Within the next ten years the congregation outgrew the mission and, in conjunction with the diocese, they raised monies to erect a larger building. This church was consecrated on October 21, 1951. St. Luke's was granted status as a parish on January 23, 1956, with the Rev. Hugh Henry as its first rector. He was succeeded by Rev. Allen Wentt in 1959. In 1970 Rev. Patrick Walker took over and immediately started to revitalize the parish. Membership grew and soon it became necessary to enlarge the building at a cost of approximately one million dollars. Ground was broken in October 1977, and on October 21, 1979, the new church was dedicated by the Rt. Rev. Paul Moore, Jr. Bishop of New York.
St. Luke's Church also includes a Senior Citizens Home, built in the early 1980s at a cost of $4.5 million, and a Senior Citizens Luncheon Program, located at 661 East 219th Street.
