Te Whare Karakia o St Luke
1 Tiriti o Elizabeth, Waikanae
I 1877, i hangaia e te rangatira, e Wi Parata Te Kakakura te whare karakia o St Luke’s ki Tuku Rākau, i te rori o Te Moana, e pātata ana ki te rori o Greenways kei Waikanae.
Nā te raina rerewhenua o Manawatū i whakarerekē te kaupapa o te kāinga i Waikanae ā, i 1886 ko te nuinga o ngā mahi i tū ki te taha o te teihana rerewhenua. I 1898 i tōia te whare karakia ki te wāhi e tū nei ia ināianei. Nō taua wā rā, kua tata tonu te korehāhā o Tuku Rākau. I 1906 te whare karakia i whakatapua ai e Bishop Wallis. Tae noa atu ki taua wā, i whakahaerengia te nuinga o ngā mahi e te hunga reimana, i roto hoki i te reo i te nuinga o te wā. I 1914 ka tīmata te mahi hanga i tētehi hōro.
I whakatūngia te pātū toka me ngā kēti i 1958 hei wāhanga nō te rau tau o te Diocese o Te Whanganui ā Tara. E toru ngā rākau whakamaumahara i whakatōngia, he kauri mō Bishop Abraham, te Pīhopa tuatahi o Te Whanganui ā Tara, he rākau pūriri mō Pīhopa Wallis, ā, he tōtara mō Pīhopa Hadfield. I tū ngā whakahoutanga matua o te whare karakia i 1977 me 1985. He mea whakauru ētahi wāhanga o te whare karakia tūturu ki te mea o naiānei, inā rā ko te pourewa pere. E whakaatu ana ngā matapihi i te wāhi tapu i a Octavius Hadfield rāua ko Wīremu Parata. E takoto ana a Wiremu Parata ki tōna whānau i te taha raki o te whare karakia.
