He was born and raised in Dousman, Wisconsin, and attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh before entering St. Francis de Sales Seminary. For the past three years Fr. Luke has been serving as an in solidum team member at Holy Family Catholic Community in Fond du Lac. One of his brothers, Fr. Jacob Strand, was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese in May and is continuing his studies in Rome.
