ST LUKE’S HOWICK
Over 150 Years
Parish of Karkloof
For a little more than 150 years the Parish of Karkloof was the epicentre of Anglican ministry in the midlands of what was then Natal. It wasn’t called the Parish of Karkloof.
It was a network of small country churches; Nottingham Road, Rosetta, Lidgetton, York, Noodsberg, with St Luke’s in Howick as the centre. In addition, in places where there was no church building, visiting clergy took services in farmer’s homes.
Until 1871, there was no resident priest in the area. Services were conducted by a resident deacon, and an occasional priest from Pietermaritzburg could from time to time conduct a Eucharist.
