Clergy & Staff

Vestry

 The Vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The basic responsibilities of the Vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the parish, to support the church’s mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.

Vestry members are elected at the annual parish meeting held in January and serve three-year terms. The Vestry consists of seven members and includes two wardens. The senior warden leads the parish between rectors and is a support person for the rector. The junior warden, also known as “the people’s warden,” has responsibility for church property and buildings.

The Vestry meets monthly as announced in St. John’s Weekly and all meetings are open to members of the parish.
