About Us

With the foundation of a Mission church in March 1868 to the present day, the Church of St Luke the Beloved Physician has proclaimed the Christian faith in the distinctive Catholic tradition of the Church of England. From within the walls of this beautiful and inspiring parish church, generations of Christians, both young and old, nourished in word and sacrament, have been sent out to live and work to the praise and glory of the one God who has revealed himself as Father Son and Holy Spirit.

For 155 years, priests and people have served the Lord well and enabled St Luke's to make a real and lasting contribution benefiting the population of the California district of Derby. St Luke's continues to provide support and guidance through God's love for worshippers young and old. A family orientated Church, St Luke's is a welcoming place for all who need, want or find it.

Our principal service is the Sung Parish Mass which is held at 10.15am every Sunday.

On Tuesdays to Fridays, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are held in the Crypt Chapel (underneath the church) at 8am and 5.30pm respectively.

Please contact Fr Peter to enquire about Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals, house blessings, confession, Last Rites & anointing, and receiving Holy Communion at home or in hospital.
