We welcome the Rev. Barbara Reszko to St. Paul’s today
The Rev. Barb Reszko is a lifelong Episcopalian with Master’s degrees in Social Work and Divinity from the University of Chicago and the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. With 15 years of experience as a trauma-focused mental health therapist, she recently earned a Diploma in Anglican Studies from Bexley Seabury. Barb lives in Toledo, Ohio with her husband, two cats, and a dog, and her adult daughter resides nearby. She enjoys guitar lessons, singing, and will balance her work as a therapist with service to the church.
The Bishop has appointed Deacon Barb as a Regional Deacon for six months. This new role is a faithful step forward in how we live out our ministry in the Diocese of Ohio, especially the servant leadership to which our deacons are called.
The Regional Deacon’s ministry is rooted in building relationships by spending time in community, listening with compassion, and reflecting deeply on what it means to serve in Jesus’ name. Barb is working with faith communities and local partners in the North Central Mission Area to help us see and respond to the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world around us. Some examples include serving with Old Trinity, Tiffin and its new Community Kitchen and supporting lay-led outreach at St. Paul’s, Bellevue.
