Life

The holy hieromartyr Luka Vučinić was a priest and religion teacher at Cetinje, in Montenegro, and was killed in 1945 in Slovenia, together with Metropolitan Joanikije Lipovac. He studied at the Faculty of Theology in Belgrade at the end of the 1930s. His commemoration belongs to the Synaxis of the Saints who taught and studied at the Theological School of Belgrade, whose celebration was ordered by Patriarch Porfirije in February 2024, pending the official decision.

The sources say only that he was a priest and catechist at Cetinje and that he studied at Belgrade. He suffered among the Montenegrin priests killed in Slovenia, in 1945, together with the priest Luka Vukmanović. His file has not been preserved in the archives of the Metropolis.
