Sierra Chaplaincy We are a faith-based team with a secular purpose: to add value to the agencies we serve. Welcome to the Sierra Chaplaincy.

We help first responders do their jobs, from providing spiritual and emotional first aid to citizens at the scene of a tragedy, to ride alongs and chats over coffee. We are a team of volunteer chaplains led by Senior Chaplain Betsy Vanderpool and team leads Roxanne Alby - Folsom, Kristi Miller-Mayhew - EDSO, Shirley Hampton - Amador and Kristen Weckworth - Tahoe. We serve our first responder partners at El Dorado County Sheriffs, Folsom Police Department, Placerville Police Department, El Dorado County Probation, El Dorado County Jail and Amador Couty. This program services the needs of all law enforcement individuals who work in El Dorado and Amador County. It is an ecumenical ministry that responds to the needs of victims, and officers regardless of religion, belief, denominational background, or lack thereof.

RIP, Hero.

At Sierra Chaplaincy, we are blessed to interface with Chaplains from other agencies here in Northern California. At a recent NorCal Peer Support meeting and training, our chaplains, Roxanne Alby and Brenda Hawkins, trained alongside chaplains from Amador County, Sacramento County, and Placer County. It is an honor and privilege to serve our local law enforcement agencies with such mutual respect and cooperation.

Our hearts are broken as we have to confirm that Ryan Marietti, a Correctional Officer with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, assigned to the South Lake Tahoe Jail, was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident early Friday morning. It is never easy to lose someone so young, but to lose a member of our LE family is beyond comprehension. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan's family, friends, and co-workers. Thank you, Ryan, for your dedicated service, your amazing work ethic, and the bright light that you were to so many who knew you. You will not be forgotten. Godspeed, young man. EOW 08-28-2026.
