Vestry
Vestry Leadership
The St. Mary’s Vestry, the governing body of the parish, shares the leadership of the church with the Rector, and consists of 10 members, who are nominated and elected by the congregation for three-year terms. They meet to oversee the temporal affairs of the church, as well as to support the Rector and staff in promoting the spiritual welfare of the church. In addition, the Vestry, in conjunction with the Trustees, is accountable for the fiscal responsibility of St. Mary’s.
Vestry members are elected at each annual meeting in January to replace members whose term is expiring, therefore we have "new" members each year in a rotating basis. Once in place, the Vestry annually selects a Senior Warden and a Junior Warden to serve as vestry leaders for a one year term or until the following years vestry nominations and election.
Although vestry meetings are closed meetings and not open to the general congregation everyone is invited to the annual meeting held each January .
