Introducing The Rev. Mary Demmler |
|
The Rev. Mary Demmler is the full-time school chaplain at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Rabun Gap, Ga. In her chaplaincy ministry, she has the joy of exploring faith with children ages Pre-K through twelfth grades, children who come from over 50 different countries. Mary also provides pastoral support for the entire campus, including faculty, staff, and their families.
Mary grew up in Gainesville, where her family joined Grace Episcopal Church when she was in elementary school. She was confirmed there, married there, and ordained there! She has been a priest for eighteen years, serving Episcopal congregations and communities from south Georgia to Arlington, Va. Her husband Derek teaches humanities in the upper school at Rabun Gap and they have three children, Hannah (11), Bailey (9), and William (6).

Welcome Mary, Derek, Hannah, Bailey, and William!
