Proto Luka Lukic was born in 1956 in Osečina, near Valjevo, Serbia. He later lived in Sremski Karlovci, near Novi Sad, Serbia. He pursued his theological studies at the Faculty of Theology in Belgrade. On December 14, 1980, he was ordained as a Deacon and subsequently appointed as the parish priest in Borina, near Loznica, Serbia.
Father Luka has been decorated several times. His first decoration was in 1988 “the red belt” and then he was decorated in as protonamesnik in 1992 and finally, in 1995, he was pro-conceived onto the rank of protopresbyter.
For many years, the Proto was the pastor of the Church of St. Simeon in South Chicago, and then served as the pastor of the old Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Palmer Square in Chicago, from where he is solemnly retiring after a long and meaningful priestly service to God and the Serbian people. Thank you Proto!
