The Rev. Priscilla Ginolfi, Deacon

Priscilla has served as St. John’s Deacon, part-time and as a volunteer, since her ordination in June 2005. Her ministry focuses primarily on pastoral care.

Priscilla describes her mission as “being a bridge connecting the world to the church.” A registered nurse whose healthcare career has spanned 40 years, she currently works full-time for Hospice of Lancaster County.

A graduate of St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing, Priscilla received a B.S. in Education and School Nursing and an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from Millersville University. She has served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps and as an infertility nurse specialist.

Priscilla is also a graduate of the four-year Education for Ministry Course through the University of the South School of Theology. She discerned a call to become a vocational deacon during a clinical pastoral education unit at Lancaster General Hospital, and completed the School of Christian Studies through the Diocese of Central PA. 

Priscilla is active in the diocese, serving on the Bishop's Response Team for Misconduct, and acting as a facilitator for Safeguarding God’s Children and the Discovery of Gifts Conference. She also teaches the Pastoral Care/Grief and Loss class in the School of Christian Studies.

Priscilla and husband Ray are the parents of two children, Sarah and David.
