Clergy and Staff
The Rev. Marissa S. Rohrbach was called to serve as the Rector of St. Matthew's in April of 2018. Marissa is richly blessed by the gift of serving as partner-in-ministry to the people of St. Matt's. She is a graduate of Yale Divinity School and Berkeley Divinity School, where she earned an MDiv, an STM, and a Diploma in Anglican Studies. She is also a graduate of The George Washington University, where she studied French Literature. She is currently a candidate for the Doctor of Ministry at Drew Theological School and has participated in a number of other formative experiences, including representing the Presiding Bishop at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW66) and as a student in Yale's Women's Leadership Project, an executive education program run by the School of Management. Marissa has served throughout the Episcopal Church in Connecticut in a number of ways, including as the Chair of the Commission on Ministry and a Transition Consultant. Marissa enjoys serving the diocese and the larger church and is proud to be active in the larger Wilton community as well. Marissa and her wife, Lyn, live in Wilton with their family. In their free time, you can find them by looking for the nearest ocean. Marissa loves to cook & travel. When she can't sleep at night, she reads French poetry from the Middle Ages & the Renaissance. She's kind of a nerd; she really loves Jesus and this adventure she's on with God's beloved people at St. Matt's. She is devoted to a God who loves all people endlessly and overwhelmingly, no matter who they are, where they come from, what color their skin is, or who they love.The Rev. Marissa S. Rohrbach

As Parish Administrator, Nancy is a key part of the staff and the community at St. Matt's. Her work and ministry among us enables the parish to thrive. She is the friendly face that greets everyone who comes into the office. She works hard on our worship bulletins, communications, and participates in caring and planning for the life of the whole community, among a number of other projects. Nancy resides in Monroe, CT where she and her husband, Scott, have owned and operated a family business for many years. She is an active, lifelong member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Monroe. Her interests include yoga, cooking, reading and morning walks with her dog. She is a proud mother of two adult daughters and enjoys spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. Nancy has been an important part of the St. Matt's community since July of 2018 and we are so blessed by the ways she supports our life together. My name is Matthew Henshaw, and I'm more than excited to be welcomed into the St. Matt's community! I graduated with a BA in Media Arts, with a concentration in Film and TV, and since then have worked a number of different careers in my field. I was a PA, a director, an engineer, but all of it luckily led me to be working here. I am so glad to use my skills to work with all of you at St. Matt's, to keep us all connected, and share some of the special pieces of this place. Lucia has been a dedicated staff member in our nursery for quite some time. On Sunday morning, she and Kate will welcome you and your child(ren) with smiling faces. They work together with the rest of the staff to provide a safe, fun, and faithful space for our youngest members during worship. If you haven't worshipped with us before, our Ushers and Greeters will be able to show you the way when you first walk in to St. Matt's. About herself, Lucia writes: "I have been blessed by being able to teach in the nursery for 16 years. I grew up here in Wilton and have been going to St. Matthew’s for most of my life. After confirmation, I was asked to start working in the nursery. Being able to teach in the nursery seems like a small thing but it has a huge impact. I love watching the little ones learn and think as we tell them the stories of God and Jesus. When I am not at church, I am working with my dad at our hardware store in Wilton Center. When not working, I love to hang out with my dog, bake and cook, or go rock climbing."Nancy Johnson
