Meet Our Interim Priest-in-Charge,
The Rev. Canon Nancy Suellau
Nancy is a native Floridian, hailing from Tallahassee. She has three degrees from Florida State University and, after a long career in nursing, answered God’s call to the ministry. In 2007, she received her MDiv and was ordained to the priesthood. She served in the Diocese of Florida in various capacities until 2022, when she retired to the Pittsburgh area to be closer to family and to get out of the Florida heat. Nancy loves people, interesting conversations, new adventures, good coffee and a great book. She is grateful for Jesus’ saving grace in her life and yours.

St. Brendan's Vestry
St. Brendan’s vestry is comprised of nine members, elected by the congregation, who serve staggered three-year terms. The vestry provides administrative and financial oversight and hires the necessary parish staff, including the priest. Each year the vestry selects a senior warden from its ranks who is the primary elected lay leader of the parish and presides at vestry meetings. The vestry also elects a junior warden, who sees to the maintenance of the church’s grounds and building. Each vestry member has one or more specific areas of oversight.
