Vestry FAQ
The Vestry is the elected lay body within the congregation that, with the clergy, leads the administration of the parish. The Wardens are selected from members of the Vestry.
The Rector, while not a member of Vestry, serves as the presiding officer at the Vestry meetings and works closely with the Vestry in shaping and implementing the parish vision.
The Vestry meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Shreiner Conference Room, Lockwood-Reilly building. All are welcome to attend and may share comments or concerns with the Rector and Vestry. Executive Sessions, limited to clergy and Vestry members, are rare and held only for sensitive matters, either at the start or end of meetings.
