Our Staff

Priest-in-Charge
The Reverend Jacqueline Ponce

Jo Ann Tatlian
Parish Administrator

Baptized and raised a Lutheran, I became an Episcopalian in 2016. I became a member of Christ the King in 2016, and was asked to serve as the church secretary in 2015.  My position was upgraded to Parish Administrator in 2018.
My business career started at Merrill Lynch a stock investment company, in 1971, but in 1973, I was challenged by my pastor to apply for a secretarial position at the Synod Office (equivalent to the Diocese in the Episcopal Church).  I was blessed to serve on the staff of the Metropolitan New York Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for 30 years, having worked with 4 Bishops, I retired in 2004. I am a widow, I have one biological daughter, and through marriage I have been blessed with three other children, two boys and a girl. I continually find that here at Christ the King GOD is truly in charge, and we are blessed every day.
