St. Luke, Ocean City

From Saint Mary Star of the Sea at Talbot Street to Holy Savior at 17th, crowds kept moving north, and So Saint Luke was established at 100th Street and Coastal Highway. In 1985,there was a stable community enough to make Saint Luke its own parish, with 558 families.

By 1991, the congregation had increased by 96%. With a growing community, two new churches were started as missions of Saint Luke: In Ocean Pines, Saint John Neumann was started in 1988, first in a community center, then in 1995 in the present church. And, farther North, at 144th Street, Saint Andrew was opened in 1993. Saint John Neumann became its own parish in 2007 as the year round community grew to support it.

Saint Luke Church is open year round, while the Saint Andrew Parish Center is only open for Masses during the Summer Season. Presently the Parish is home to about 1,160 families living in the areas of Ocean City, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware. During the winter months, the Saint Andrew Parish Center serves as a social center for various parish events.
