St. Luke Catholic Church is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saint Augustine, serving Catholics in Middleburg, Florida, and the surrounding communities of Clay County. Dedicated to Saint Luke, the evangelist and physician traditionally credited with authorship of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, the parish ministers to a growing suburban population west of Jacksonville.

Founded in 1982, St. Luke Parish has served the Middleburg area for more than four decades, expanding alongside the region's population growth in Clay County.

As a diocesan territorial parish, St. Luke is staffed by clergy of the Diocese of Saint Augustine rather than a religious order, and it functions as the ordinary parish community for Catholics within its assigned boundaries.

History
