July 8 – Brian Percival
Architecture, reminiscences, and the design
of Saint Luke’s Church
“A presentation of the architecture of our church as it stands today and how it came to be will be followed by a discussion of Saint Luke’s architectural historical source and pedigree in the life and career of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. It seems to me that our building, even though built 70 years after Pugin’s death in 1852, lies historically in his tradition. Indeed, Pugin was a founder of what became the Gothic Revival, primarily an Anglo-American movement. His buildings, mostly churches, are all in England. Most significantly, and extremely ironically, his most important contribution was all the detailing of the entire exterior of the British Houses of Parliament.”
Reopening Info
Dear Friends,
On Sunday, July 5, 2020, Saint Luke’s opened its doors for worship, beginning a careful process of returning to our church building. Face masks and social distancing protocols will be in place, as well as a reservation system for our 9:00am worship services.
This process follows the wisdom of protocols based upon scientific and medical knowledge. As part of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island and in concert with the Episcopal Diocese of New York, we will always regard the data in making decisions for the health and safety of our parishioners, friends and visitors. Too many people have already died from COVID-19. We will err on the side of the safety of us all and especially those most vulnerable among us. This is, after all, our calling and responsibility: to love fellow humanity and to love God. These are our guiding principles.
The Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the science-based counsel of medical and health professionals will be our guide.
Faithfully yours,
Father Tom Reese
