HISTORY 

In June 1982, Archbishop Philip Hannan a new parish to serve the faithful East of I-10. Named after St. Luke the Evangelist, the parish aimed to build God's kingdom on earth from its inception, starting Masses in the gym of Pope John Paul II Catholic High School due to lack of property. A house on Kisatchie Drive served as the first rectory and office, where morning Masses began. Dedicated formally on September 12, 1982, the parish quickly grew, welcoming 1,169 parishioners for Easter Mass in 1983. Construction of a Worship Center and other facilities followed to accommodate the expanding community.

OUR WORK​

Sainte-Chapelle Studios was engaged to develop marketing materials and designs for a capital campaign involving the construction of a new parish church and renovation of existing classrooms and meeting rooms. In the process, Sainte-Chapelle Studios further developed designs for the new church incorporating classical and vernacular architectural features while simultaneously developing an artistic program that enhances the sacredness of the space. Ultimately, the result is a comprehensive design worthy of the worship of God that incorporates the tradition of sacred art and architecture, while also paying tribute to the wonderful community that started the parish. By pairing the designs with a custom 18 page capital campaign booklet and 3D animated renderings,  the parish has experienced a robust kickoff to their capital campaign efforts.​​​​
