1864 Post Road, Darien, CT 06820 | P: 203-655-1456 | E: welcome@saintlukesdarien.org

Saint Luke’s is part of The Episcopal Church

We are an active member of the The Episcopal Church

Copyright © 2021, Saint Luke’s Parish, Darien CT 06820

Miranda Wilson

Miranda has grown up at Saint Luke’s, which has included her baptism and confirmation. She has participated widely in the parish community, including being a choir member, lay assistant, Vacation Bible School counselor, youth group member, and a mission trip participant and chaperone. Following high school at The Hotchkiss School, Miranda recently graduated in June from The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, with a First Class Honors degree in English Literature and International Relations.

Miranda served as Saint Luke’s summer intern in 2020, and is excited to continue the work she began then. She is passionate about social media, photography, videography, and website design, and is thrilled she gets to share those skills with a place so important to her. She will be serving as the interim Director of Communications from June to December of 2021.

 

Ron Wilson

Ron has been with St. Luke’s since 2014. Before joining the staff at Saint Luke’s, he was the Finance Manager at a church in Greenwich, CT for 12 years. Ron attended Hamilton College and Fairfield University for his undergraduate studies, earning a bachelor’s degree from Fairfield University. He also plays guitar and sings in a band and loves all racket sports. Ron lives with his wife (Cathy) and two daughters (Hayley and Leia) in Cos Cob, CT.

Will Roslak

Will Roslak is an organist and music educator based in New York City. He completed his bachelor’s degree at Westminster Choir College, and received his master’s degree from the Aaron Copland School of Music at CUNY Queens College. Will is currently the director of choral studies at Kaufman Music Center’s Special Music School High School, NYC’s only school with classical music as its core curriculum. He and his students regularly collaborate with artists from the Metropolitan Opera, and most recently collaborated with composers Lisa Bielawa and Caroline Shaw. Prior to coming to St. Luke’s, Will was the organ scholar at the Cathedral Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul in Philadelphia, and was director of music at Westhampton Presbyterian Church (Westhampton Beach/Quogue, NY). A native of Long Island’s North Fork, Will is an avid boater and fisherman.

Susan Wyper

The Rev. Susan Wyper joined the Saint Luke’s clergy staff as Associate Rector in September 2016, after nine years at St. Matthew’s in Bedford, NY. While serving “across the border,” Susan and her family continued to consider Saint Luke’s their parish home and she was happy to return to the church that raised her family and supported her call to ministry.

Susan holds degrees from Yale University, Middlebury College, and Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. She and her husband George have lived in Darien since 1987 and have been actively involved in the church and wider community. They have three grown sons, James, Robby, and Silas and a young dog, Ailsa.

Naomi Cunningham

Naomi started at Saint Luke’s in 2018. She is one of five kids; her mom is a first grade teacher and her dad was a priest so she was destined to do a combination of the two: youth ministry! 

Naomi graduated from Kansas State University with a BA in Sociology. She then served as an Episcopal missionary through the Young Adult Service Corps in Paris, France for two years. While there, she worked at the American Cathedral in Paris as their Youth Director along with assisting in Godly Play, a Montessori school, and office work. For the year before moving to Connecticut, she worked as a bartender, server, and substitute teacher.

Nancy Coughlin

Nancy Coughlin joined Person-to-Person in June of 2019, bringing expertise and experience in food insecurity, anti-poverty, and women’s and children’s issues. Prior to joining P2P, Nancy served for seven years as the Executive Director at Neighbor to Neighbor, a Greenwich-based organization dedicated to providing food and clothing to low-income families and children. Ms. Coughlin received a BA in psychology from the University of New Hampshire, and a J.D. from the Suffolk University Law School. In 2012, Coughlin was selected as one of 10 inaugural Executive Leadership Group (ELG) members by Fairfield County’s Community Foundation. She has served on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Greenwich United Way Community Planning Council, Junior League of Greenwich Community Advisory Board, and Needs Clearing House Advisory Board. Nancy is a 20-year Darien resident who has been active in several local organizations including the YWCA Darien/Norwalk, Royle School PTO, and the Methodist Family Center Preschool.

Maggie Domont

Maggie Domont knows Saint Luke’s. She grew up here as a child and returned as an adult. After earning a degree at Princeton University in Art History, Maggie moved to New York and worked in the art auction world of Sotheby’s and Christie’s for ten years. After marriage and three children, Maggie temporarily left her work, but when she saw the opportunity to join the Saint Luke’s team in 2017 as the Director of Stewardship and Communications, she felt a tug. Here was a way to work with people, serve a great organization and make a difference. 

Erika Caputo

Erika has taught Godly Play since 2015 and became the Director of Children’s Ministries in 2017. She has taught Pre-K at the Parish School since 2010. Erika received her B.A. in Communication from the University of California at San Diego and completed CDA coursework through Connecticut’s community college system. She worked in the “Corporate World” until her second child was born. Erika and her family have lived in Darien since 2004; in 2005 she first became involved with Saint Luke’s when her daughters attended the Parish School (2005 – 2009).  

Elizabeth Hearle

Elizabeth Hearle graduated from The College of William and Mary with B.A. degrees in Psychology and Elementary Education and from Old Dominion University with an M.A. in Early Childhood Development. She also holds a degree in Administration and Supervision of Early Childhood from Charter Oak University.

Message from the Rector

Dear Friends,

We all know that 2020 was not the easiest of years. Global pandemic, economic disruption, political uncertainty, and racial reckoning have all challenged our sense of stability. Sometimes it feels like the ground under our feet is sinking sand. But God’s love, and God’s call to share love, never changes. Let us draw refreshment and strength from the Living Water that God gives us in the Scriptures. And let us grow in our commitment to share Christ’s love with each other, our neighbors, and the world.

Faith grows here. Hope grows here. Love grows here. We grow here. I can’t wait for this year to unfold!

Yours in Christ,

Ryan+
