Steve Seibert

Deacon
Email me

Steve was born in Pennsylvania, moved to Ormond Beach at two, and attended Catholic School for twelve years, graduating from Father Lopez (Daytona Beach). He served in the Navy right out of high school. Upon discharge, he worked as a printer and motel desk clerk and traveled a circuitous route (four colleges/universities) to a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. He is thankful to his wife Leila, who brought him into a relationship with Jesus through the Episcopal Church. For him, there is a powerful yet gentle invitation in this Church that comes straight from the heart of Jesus Christ.

Steve and Leila have two children and four grandchildren. They value the time they are able to visit with them; they love traveling with Maine being a place that speaks to their souls. Steve was ordained to the diaconate in April 2021.
