About us
Father Jason Emerson (He/Him)
Rector
Hi, I’m Jason and I believe God is at work. It is a pleasure and honor to worship and serve God alongside the people of St. Patrick’s. I am originally from Tennessee and Jodie, my wife—a world-class educator/administrator—is from Zanesville, OH. We have lived in Omaha, NE, and Northwest GA outside Chattanooga before returning to central Ohio around Thanksgiving of 2021. Our twins, Isaac and Evelyn, are excited to explore the music and drama opportunities of central Ohio as well. God is up to something in, at, and through St. Patrick’s. Come join us as we share God’s Love in Dublin, the greater Columbus area, the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio, and indeed around the world. And no matter what, remember, God loves you more than you can possibly imagine. rector@pats-dublin.org
Reverend Stefi Baiju (She/Her)
Associate Rector for Welcome & Formation
Hi, I’m Stefi, and I believe God is always doing something new among us. It is a joy and a blessing to serve as the Associate Rector for Formation and Welcome at St. Patrick’s. I am originally from South India, and my journey of faith and ministry has taken me through different cultures, churches, and communities. Before joining St. Patrick’s, I served as an Associate Rector in the Diocese of Chicago. I hold an MAM and an MDiv from McCormick Theological Seminary and a D.A.S. from Virginia Theological Seminary. I am passionate about children, youth, families, and adult formation, and I love creating spaces where people can wonder, ask questions, grow in faith, and discover God’s love. I am also passionate about creating a culture of welcome, helping people of all ages and backgrounds feel seen, valued, and truly at home in the life of the Church. I am married to Rev. Dr. Baiju Markose, and we have two wonderful children, Prarthana and Dhyan. We are grateful to call central Ohio home.
I believe the Church is a place where everyone should know they belong. God is up to something at St. Patrick’s, and I am excited to be part of it with you. Come, let’s worship, wonder, grow, and share God’s love together!
