Canon Marissa Rohrbach has served as the Canon for the Central Region in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts since early in 2025. As a member of Bishop Julia’s staff, she works with 63 congregations and worshipping communities in the city of Boston and the surrounding cities and towns. The work of the Regional Canons tends to focus on transitions, collaborations, supporting and strengthening congregations, and is an extension of the Bishop’s ministry. Previously, Canon Marissa served two congregations in Connecticut as Rector and as an Assistant in Philadelphia. She believes the parish is the building block of the kingdom of God and has a deep passion for serving God’s people as they do the work they’re called to do to love, serve, and change the world. Canon Marissa is married to Lyn, and they have two amazing and miraculous young children. She has a deep love of cooking, of gathering people around the table, and of all things French, particularly the literature of the middle ages & renaissance. She’s also an old school country music fan and a bit of a nerd. She is grateful and humbled every day to do this work with God’s beloved people in this region and in this diocese.
