History and Description:
St. Luke’s Village history begins with the generosity of two special ladies. In 1979, Miss Hazel Sutter, a former Sunday school student at St. Luke’s Church, passed away leaving her house in Far Hills to the church. In her will she recalled fond memories of her days at St. Luke’s Church. In 1983, Miss Ethel Stantial, a loyal and devoted parishioner of St. Luke’s Church and a lifetime resident of Gladstone, passed away and willed her home and property to St. Luke’s Church.
It was decided to sell the Sutter home and invest the proceeds in the Stantial home and property. The dream was to build a warm, caring and affordable village for those in later life. Because of the generosity of these two wonderful ladies, the dream became a reality and St. Luke’s Village was created.
St. Luke’s Village is now independent of St. Luke’s Church and has become a unique concept of living in the quaint town of Gladstone. The goal was to create an atmosphere where a group of individuals will have the dignity of their own dwelling as well as the company of their fellow residents.
