Vestry Organization
 

The canons of the church give exclusive authority over the fiscal affaris of the parish to the Vestry. However, the mission of the Vestry should be viewed as broad-ranging. Vestry members are also spritual leaders who are committed to building up the Body of Christ so that it can be an effective instrument of mission and ministry in the world.

The Vestry usually meets once a month, and sometimes takes a month off during the summer. Vestry meetings are open as a rule to members of the parish who are welcome to express their views to the Vestry formally if recognized by the chair of the meeting. *Meetings at St. Mary's are the fourth Thursday of the month, in the St. James Room 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.*
