About Our Rector

Update:
Our parish of St. Luke's is blessed for our time with Fr. Don, who celebrated his last Sunday at St. Luke's on November 24th, 2024.
You can read his parting message from the November 22nd announcements (click here).

We are very grateful that Fr. Larry Burton, our assisting priest, has volunteered to serve as our supply priest through Advent and January 2025. Please read more on that below in this update from St. Luke's vestry sent out on November 15th.

Please join us after the service to say goodbye to him at a special coffee hour.   As you probably also know, the vestry has been working hard to sustain the church until we have new priest.  We are working with The Reverend Canon Scott Leannah from the Diocese of Wisconsin in the process of finding one.
