Lutheran Haven site: Then and Now, 1947
The Lutheran Haven's first "Home for the Aged" and a "Home for Children" were built and dedicated in 1947 on contiguous acreage south of St. Luke's Lutheran Church and extending to Chapman Road. A photo from that time shows the two buildings from a distance. The camera was aimed southward and the photo was taken from the west side of a narrow two-lane "country road." In 2015... almost 70 years later... a digital image reveals that the narrow road had evolved into a divided highway (SR 426) and that the two original Haven buildings had since been demolished and replaced with many new structures to serve the greatly-expanded Lutheran Haven Retirement Center and its ministries. The Chapman Road/SR 426 intersection is visible in the distance. (Chapman Road was merely an unpaved tractor trail in 1950, when the historic photo was taken.

Lutheran Haven - ties to Slavia's Founding Families
Many of Slavia's Founding Families became actively involved in the establishment and sustenance of the Lutheran Haven. One family made the gift of land for the Haven's future campus; several families made monetary donations (and continue to support the ministry more than 60 years later). Some played active roles in caring for the residents and brightening their lives with gifts and visits. Some of the oldest members of Slavia's first families have, themselves, become residents of the Retirement Center or received care at the Lutheran Haven Nursing Home. Juliana Stanko, who with her husband, Martin, operated the Slavia "general store" (est. 1926) was cared for by the skilled nurses at the Lutheran Haven during her final years. Anna Mikler Duda chaired the St. Luke's Women's Missionary Guild, which provided gifts to the residents of the Old Folks Home for their birthdays and at Christmas. Mary Stanko Fabry shared her time and talents by preparing food in the Haven kitchens. The Lutheran Haven, though a separate entity from St. Luke's Church, has been an important ministry of the congregation since its inception.

Luther High School (Orlando) on leased campus. 1975-76
Luther High School (in Orlando) "opened its doors for its first classes on September 2, 1975 for some twenty-six 'pioneer' students and four full-time teachers at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church facility..."

Portable buildings were added as needed, but the church's large gymnasium, adjoining classrooms, office space and sanctuary served the school well during its first years.

Select pages from the first two editions of "The Crusader," published by the Lutheran High School on 1980.
