Historic Saint Luke's Episcopal Church

About this church

Historic Saint Luke's Episcopal Church in New Orleans gathers for Sunday worship at 10 a.m. at 1222 N. Dorgenois Street, in the Tremé neighborhood a short drive from the French Quarter. Founded in 1855, the congregation is described on its website as the oldest African-American Episcopal congregation in Louisiana, and it belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. Worship follows the Episcopal tradition and the Book of Common Prayer, and the church calls itself a multicultural, multiethnic faith community. Visitors are invited to come as they are, and the site includes a welcome section covering what to wear, where to park, and how to reach out.

Beyond Sunday morning, the building serves as a gathering place for the neighborhood. Its spaces can be rented for nonprofit meetings, birthday parties, and concerts, and the church has hosted musical events with local arts partners. The sanctuary holds weddings of up to 200 guests, and couples planning to marry there meet with the rector for premarital counseling. The church office is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and upcoming events are posted on the church's Facebook and Instagram pages. Anyone planning a visit can confirm current details on the website or by calling the office.
