ABOUT

Welcome to St. Luke Catholic Church, the parish serving Northwest El Paso.

Bishop Raymundo Peña established St. Luke on July 1, 1992,

under the pastoral care of Msgr. John Peters.

We moved to our permanent site at 930 E. Redd Road in June, 1994,

after meeting first at Polk Elementary School and then at Hornedo Middle School.

The Parish Hall served as our all-purpose building, offering space for celebrating Mass, holding Religious Formation classes and providing meeting rooms to parish organizations.

The Parish Offices were completed in January, 1998.

We celebrated our first Mass in the Church building on the First Sunday of Advent in 2001.  Bishop Armando Ochoa consecrated the church in March, 2002.

The Catechetical Center and Rosary Courtyard were completed by the end of 2008, and, more recently, renovation of the Parish Hall kitchen

and construction of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel,

meeting room and Gift Shop, as well as the Baptismal Font took place.

Msgr. John Peters led the community of St. Luke for 16 years,

until his retirement in 2008.

Rev. Edilberto Lopez (“Fr. Beto”) took over from 2008 until 2017, expanding ministries, particularly among the youth and

the Spanish-speaking population of our parish. 

In 2017, Rev. Marcus McFadin came to us, bringing a new perspective on ministry and formation. Under his guidance, our programs evolved into even more

dynamic groups encouraging prayer, reflection, and service. He guided us through the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and oversaw the transition of many ministries to online meetings.

In 2021, Rev. Edward Carpenter, Jr., took over as pastor of St. Luke, sharing his sense of humor and love for the people of God with the community. Under his guidance, the St. Luke community is digging deeper into issues of Social Justice, bringing the love of God to our city and beyond.
