As Priest Associate for Congregational Vitality, Nick Roosevelt is focused on strengthening St. Paul’s ministries. Nick is a seasoned preacher, caring pastor, and engaging mentor with a passion for equipping leaders who serve Christ within and beyond the church. With our rector, Nick shares fully in priestly responsibilities like pastoral care and liturgical leadership for the St. Paul’s and Sa Paula Tonga communities. As you find your way at St. Paul’s, Nick will seek to support your path of deepening connections as you share your gifts for ministry. Collaboration with staff and lay leaders aligned with St. Paul’s Family Ministries, Outreach Ministries, and Liturgical Ministries allows Nick to share his wisdom, kindness, and humor to joyfully nurture relationships with people of all ages. Since 2023, Nick also has served as a Chaplain in the Air Force Reserve. He is currently assigned to the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis AFB, CA. One weekend a month and at other times during the year, Nick lives into another dimension of his priestly vocation: offering unparalleled soul care through counseling support, religious accommodation, and leadership advisement to military service members and their families. Nick was born and raised in South Carolina by his parents and by the Book of Common Prayer. His priestly tours of duty have involved him as associate rector, rector, and interim rector in communities in Arizona, Georgia, and California. Nick’s wife Carey is a nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose. Together with his daughter Lillian, they are emotional support people for their wheaten terrier, Scout. When not at St. Paul’s or in uniform, Nick enjoys playing tennis, pickleball and golf, hiking, comedy, musical theater, current events, and travel.
Jocelyn has served as Pastoral Associate since 2019. She is attentive to how we live our life together. Jocelyn supports our online presence and availability to others as well as more traditional ministries of outreach, justice, families, and liturgy and ritual. She continues to bring much of what she has learned from serving as the ED of Contemplatives in Action, an educational and spiritual retreat center in post-Katrina New Orleans, to St. Paul's. Jocelyn has a master’s degree in theology from the Jesuit School of Theology and completed a year of clinical pastoral education at UCSF Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital and Clinics with a focus on mental health.
Dr. Matthews has been Director of Music at St. Paul’s since 2005 where she serves as organist and director of the choirs, including founding director of the Choir School and the Evensong series (2007). Susan grew up in Pennsylvania, graduated from Haverford College as a chemistry major, and attended two years of medical school during which time she found a home in the Episcopal church while searching for a place to practice organ. This began a journey to a completely different doctorate, to concertizing in amazing sacred places around the world, and to her vocation as a church musician in the Episcopal Church where music is an integral part of the liturgy.
