Brother Luke is a deacon, slated for priesthood ordination in 2026. He is assigned to Saint John Church and Friary to serve here as deacon and to prepare for priesthood. Brother Luke was born in 1978 in South Korea. He majored in violin in college and worked as a musician. At the age of 38, he began to discern a call to religious life and entered Capuchin formation at the age of 39. He studied philosophy and theology at the Catholic University of America and received the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree in May, 2025 and was ordained a deacon the same month. We welcome Brother Luke to Saint John’s and look forward to receiving his ministry as deacon for at least the next year.
