Our Presiding Bishop
28th Presiding Bishop & Primate
The Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe was elected presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church in June 2024 and took office on Nov. 1 for a nine-year term. In this role, he serves as the church’s chief pastor and CEO. Known for his expertise in organizational learning and adaptive change, Rowe is committed to strengthening support for local ministry and mission.
He was ordained bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania in 2007 after serving as rector of St. John’s in Franklin, Pennsylvania, for seven years. From 2014 to 2018, he served as bishop provisional of the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem, and from 2019 to 2024, he led a partnership between the Episcopal Dioceses of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York.
Rowe holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Grove City College, a Master of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary, and a doctorate in organizational learning and leadership from Gannon University. He has served as a leader of many civic and churchwide organizations and governance bodies, and as parliamentarian for the House of Bishops.



St. Luke's welcomes all to join us for Pentecostide (Ordinary Time)!
Pentecost (from the Greek Pentēkostē meaning 50th day) is celebrated 50 days after Easter Sunday. It marks the coming of the Holy Spirit among the apostles and followers of Jesus. We celebrated Pentecost on May 24th this year. The Monday after the Day of Pentecost, through the first Sunday of Advent, is Pentecostide, also called Ordinary Time or the Green Season. Ordinary time is the opportunity to live out the Christian faith, realizing the meaning of Christ’s resurrection in everyday life.
On Saturday, June 13 we celebrated the life of one of our most dedicated parishioners.
