Welcome to the website for Saint Luke's Parish.

Ours is a large and diverse community, serving south west Peterborough and the villages beyond.

All ages, many nationalities and different backgrounds are represented here, so everyone should be able to feel at home. We are part of the Deanery of St Hugh Peterborough in the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia.

200 CLUB UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Unfortunately due to insufficient interest the 200 Club is no longer viable and will finish at the end of the year. In order for it to break even and not cost the church money it has been necessary to withdraw the 2nd & 3rd prizes and so there will now be one draw only each month for a £30 prize. We are sorry about this and many thanks to Jackie and Brenda for valiantly trying to salvage it. If you would prefer a refund please contact the office.

NEW PRESBYTERY & BUILDING DEVELOPMENT

We are in the process of buying a new presbytery for the clergy so that they can live and work more effectively under the same roof. It will stretch us financially and means that we will have to approach the development of the church building mostly on a fundraising and grant application basis which may slow things down a little. If you have the experience & time to help with this, please contact Fr. Jeffrey.

PETERBOROUGH WINTER NIGHT SHELTER

Following the success last winter in providing shelter for Peterborough’s rough sleepers at St Luke’s, our doors will open again from 30 March to 6 April. Volunteers needed for night shifts (9.30pm-7am), morning shifts (6.30-8am) & for cooking a meal at home for delivery to church by 7pm on the evening. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for further information.
