The Reverend Joseph Daly
Rector
Joseph is a native of Nova Scotia and studied in Canada, the United States and the Middle East. He was ordained in 2002 in the Diocese of Albany, NY. Before coming to Ascension in 2009, he served as rector of Saint Andrews, Douglas, GA.
He enjoys cooking and kayaking on the Bayou Teche where he lives with his two sons, Andrew and Aiden.
The Reverend Jacob Schlossberg
Upper School Chaplain and Associate Priest for Youth Ministy
Fr. Schlossberg comes to Ascension after three years at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin. Before that, he spent a decade in the Chicago suburbs working for Tyndale House Publishers; it was there he met his wife Jillian, who still works there as an editor. Fr. Jake and Jillian have two children, Juliana (5) and Judah (1). When not wrestling with the kids, Fr. Schlossberg can be found reading or playing sports, or trying to beat Jillian in a game of Scrabble. Fr. Schlossberg is a graduate of Wheaton College (IL), and is the son of the Rev. Steve and Angie Schlossberg (along with four brothers and sisters)!
Fr. Jake spends most of his time as Chaplain at Ascension Episcopal’s upper school campus, where he leads chapel services, teaches Bible classes, and loves spending time with students. Here at the church, his focus is on ministry for middle and high school youth and leading our acolyte corps. If you’d like to learn more about youth ministry at Ascension, he’d love to connect with you and your family.
