Fr. Luke Barder, OP

Parish Pastor

Hey, I’m Fr. Luke, OP, Pastor here at St. Dominic’s. I was born in Indiana (go Boilermakers), grew up in the suburbs of Chicago (go Cubs), but have lived in so many great places around the country. Denver has become a second home, especially St. Dominic’s, as it was where I did my Novitiate, was first assigned as a “baby” priest, and is now where I first get to learn how to be a Pastor. When I’m not in the office, Church, or Priory, you might find me running around Sloan’s Lake, reading a book at a cafe, on a bike ride along the Platte, or hiking around Nederland.

Favorite Saint: St. Peter

Favorite Quote:
The more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild. - G. K. Chesterton
