Our Vicar

The Very Rev. Luke Fodor

The Very Rev. Luke Fodor is Rector of St. Luke’s, Jamestown, Vicar at Chapel of the Good Shepherd and the Dean of Chautauqua-Cattaraugus deanery. He has three graduate degrees from the University of Durham in England, New York University, and Bexley Hall Seminary in Columbus, OH.  He came to Jamestown with his wife Willow and their two boys (Aidan and Kieran) from Long Island in 2014 and since that time he has thrown himself into serving the community well beyond the walls of his church. When not engaged in ministry or leading in community initiatives, Luke is likely to be found swimming in Chautauqua Lake, in the saddle of his bike or pounding the pavement training for his next triathlon or race.  He has completed two Ironman length triathlons—swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 and running 26.1 miles.
