From the church’s 175th anniversary celebration:<\/p>\n

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church begins its 175th anniversary year! The first Episcopal parish in Racine was formed in 1842, following the establishment of the Episcopal Church in Wisconsin in 1836. The first church was erected on the east side of Main St., across from Monument Square. After a fire in 1866, a new building in the English Gothic Revival style was constructed at the present location, with the first service held on September 8, 1867.<\/p>\n

Bishop Steven Miller’s visitation and service on Sunday, followed by a reception, will launch the anniversary year. Religious and cultural events open to the community are planned for the coming months.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
