After 25 years as the Pastor of St. Luke Parish and 45 years as a priest in the Paterson Diocese, Father Mike retiring .  While we as parishioners will miss his booming voice, wonderful story-telling and infectious smile every weekend, we wish him all the best!  But don’t worry, you will still see him around Long Valley, Chester and Mendham as he is planning to live in the area. You may even catch him saying mass at St. Luke. A special mass and picnic was held on June 9, 2019 .
