Deacon Gregg grew up Lutheran (his maternal grandfather was a Lutheran minister for 43 years). It was while their children were attending St. Joan of Arc school that his desire to become Catholic began.  He converted to Catholicism in June of 2000, but his journey did not end there.  It was during, and after he attended Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) in 2003, that he began having the desire in his heart to be a deacon.  He entered formation for the diaconate in 2017 and was ordained in 2021. Upon his ordination Deacon Gregg was happy to be assigned here at St. Joan of Arc.

Hello everyone, My name is Rosie Focht and I am the Receptionist and Volunteer Coordinator for St Joan of Arc. My husband Gregg and I have been parishioners since 1993. In July of 2020, I was afforded the blessing of becoming part of the staff, and I am thrilled to be here. 

Gregg and I married in 1984, and in September of 2021, he was ordained a Deacon. We have been blessed with two children, Kelsey and Brandon, and four grandchildren, (Jayden, Emerson, Peyton and Madison,) and another due in February. Fun fact, we have four grandchildren with 2 birth dates; Jayden and Emerson were born on the same day, 3 years apart, and Peyton and Madison are twins🙂. People have said many times that "being a grandparent is the best", Gregg and I agree 100%. I feel so blessed to be here at St Joan of Arc with the opportunity to work in God's house.

Tyler and his wife, Kerstin, are both Catholic converts and have been parishioners at St. Rose in Perrysburg since 2019. He has 4 boys and a baby due in August, and his oldest two boys attend St. Rose School. 

Tyler has been involved in the RCIA team, the Toledo ACTS community supporting multiple parish retreats, volunteering with the Office for Life and Justice by helping with their Prison Ministry programs, being active with the Sidewalk Advocates program, and is the Coordinator for The Joseph Ministry which ministers to men with past abortion experience. 

Tyler’s wife, Kerstin, works for Catholic Charities as the Project Rachel Coordinator and walks with women who have had past abortion experiences to experience the loving mercy and forgiveness of God. 

Continuing to grow in faith is something that’s incredibly important to Tyler, and he uses Hallow, Formed, Fr. Dave Pivonka’s Wild Goose TV, Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire, just to name a few, to perpetually learn more and grow in his personal relationship with God and to a clearer understanding of what it means to be obedient. 

In his spare time (when he’s not chasing 4 boys around), Tyler enjoys watching soccer, Formula 1 racing, and building LEGO.
