History:

St. Luke's Parish has a long and rich tradition in  New Jersey. It was founded in 1864, when Reverend William McNulty asked the first Bishop of Newark, the Most Reverend James Roosevelt Bayley, for permission to build a church in Ho-Ho-Kus to meet the needs of Catholic residents. The original St. Luke's Church was lost in a fire in 1948, but was replaced with the impressive present structure which was completed in 1950. St. Luke's has a worshiping community of over 1,850 families from Ho-Ho-Kus, Waldwick and surrounding areas.

The parish property includes the Church building, a Rectory residence for priests with the Parish Offices on the bottom floor, a courtyard between the Church and Rectory a Parish Center, the John Griffin Memorial Field, a cemetery and a school building which houses both the parish Religious Education Center and a school - not affiliated with St. Luke's.
