History of the Parish:
The present location of Saint Luke´s Parish Church, Salto was donated by Mr. Richard A. Williams, whose desire to establish an Anglican church and an English speaking school coincided with discussions in Montevideo about placing a resident Anglican priest in Salto. The process began in 1866 and the gothic style church was completed in 1872. In 1910 the Cemetary was consecrated by the Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Rev. E.F.Every.
Mr. John Jones and his sons looked after the church for many years until the formation of the Diocese of Uruguay under Bishop William Godfrey.
