Preservation efforts at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church have taken to new heights.
Structural engineers specializing in masonry were at the 410 N. Main St. church in Jamestown on Wednesday to look at the iconic bell tower. Barbara A. Campagna, a Buffalo-based preservation architect overseeing the St. Lukes project, said the tower has some “pretty significant issues” in how the exterior sandstone is connected to the backup brick.

[Dioceses of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania] St. Luke’s Church in Jamestown, New York, is not just trying to change the way the city eats, it’s trying to change the way it thinks about food.
Led by its rector, the Rev. Luke Fodor, whose passion for fresh vegetables is such that people send him produce-themed birthday cards, the parish has donated money, space, time and energy to several interconnected fresh food initiatives aimed at helping local residents eat a better diet and helping local farmers to earn a better living.

It’s that persona that made Luis an ideal certified peer specialist with the Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County. “Luis had a way of making everyone smile and lit up a room anytime he walked in,” said Jenny Rowe, the Mental Health Association’s chief financial officer.

After no in-person Easter church services last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, churches are preparing to welcome parishioners back this Sunday.
The Rev. Luke Fodor at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, located at 410 N. Main St., Jamestown, said this Easter will be notably special following an unsettling year with church goers slowly returning to in-person services.
“Easter is one of those times where we want to celebrate both the spring and the power of possibility,” he said. “During these times of the new normal, which will be different this year with all of us wearing mask, Easter has always presented to us a new normal the power of resurrection.”
