STAFF & LEADERSHIP

St. Luke's Episcopal Church is a welcoming and inclusive Christian community! The Lay leaders and Bishop's Committee members work closely with our Bishop, the Right Rev. Robert L. Fitzpatrick, and our Vicar, Fr. Jim, for the Mission & Ministry of the Church.

The Right Rev. Robert L. Fitzpatrick
Bishop, The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i

The Right Rev. Robert Fitzpatrick is the 5th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaiʻi. He also serves as the Bishop-in-Charge of the Episcopal Church in Micronesia, and on behalf of The Episcopal Church, he chairs both the Concordat Committee of Full Communion Between the Iglesia Filipina Independiente and The Episcopal Church, and the Joint Committee on Provincial Companionship (JCPC) with The Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church in the Philippines.

The Rev. James Loughren (Fr. Jim)
Vicar

‘Fr. Jim’ is originally from the Adirondack mountains of Northern New York. With degrees in Sociology, Economics, Philosophy, Divinity, and Systematic Theology, he has worked in banking and for many years first as a Roman Catholic, then Episcopal priest. Prior to coming to St. Luke's, Fr. Jim was at Grace Church on Moloka'i, where he served for seven years. He loves coming alongside and working with the people of God and together stepping out in faith and watching as God blesses those efforts in the most amazing ways! He sees ministry as such a grand adventure, blessing, and privilege and warmly welcomes anyone who would like to come alongside!
