Deacon Gregg Focht grew up in a farming community in West Alexandria, Ohio, and moved with his family to Findlay at age ten. He graduated from Findlay High School and began studying engineering at Ohio University before completing his Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Toledo. He has applied that degree throughout his career at UPS, Cintas, Owens Corning, and now at Hirzel Canning Company in Northwood. Deacon Gregg and his wife, Rose, were married in 1984 and have been parishioners at St. Joan of Arc since 1993. They have two children and four grandchildren. Raised Lutheran, with a grandfather who served as a Lutheran minister for 43 years, Gregg first felt drawn to the Catholic faith while his children were attending St. Joan of Arc School. He entered the Church in June 2000, and after participating in Christ Renews His Parish in 2003, began to sense a call to the diaconate. He entered formation in 2017 and was ordained in 2021, joyfully receiving his assignment here at St. Joan of Arc.

Sue is a Toledo native, a graduate of Notre Dame Academy, and holds a degree in Sign Language from Sinclair College; she continues to minister to the Deaf Community within the diocese. Their daughter Erin graduated from Lourdes University with her teaching license and degrees in World History and Literature. As longtime members of SJA, Larry and Sue were part of the Core Group that helped bring the RENEW program to the parish, and they served on numerous Teens Encounter Christ teams for over 15 years. Larry was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Hoffman in May 1994 and has served on the Deacon Personnel Board as well as the Deacon Formation Program staff.
