4. Masonry Repair Archive
The project includes reconstruction of exterior masonry joints of the bell tower and turrets to eliminate current water intrusion and to protect St. Luke’s antique, valuable bell and its wood-beam supports. The solid bronze bell was manufactured by McShane’s Bell Foundry, America’s oldest bell foundry established in 1856. It was purchased by the M.E. Church South, Nicholasville, KY in 1886 and weighs 1,268 lbs!

Respecting the Historical Integrity of St. Luke Catholic Church ArchivePROJECT TOTAL IS ESTIMATED TO COST UP TO $650,000
-
This project required significant additional donations beyond our parish collection to renovate major structural components of St. Luke Catholic Church. Built after World War I, and shortly before the Jessamine County Courthouse, St. Luke's is a magnificent, historic, and distinctive landmark made of locally-quarried Kentucky River stone. Your donations have protected and improved our unique church, which is like no other in the Diocese.
