The Vestry is the governing body of each Episcopal Church, elected to represent the people of the Parish. At St. Michael’s it consists of nine members of the Parish, the Senior and Junior Wardens, the Clerk, the Treasurer, and the Rector. The Wardens and Vestry members are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting held each January, and serve three-year terms of office.
The Vestry meets monthly to discuss, reflect and take action on the many important aspects of Parish life. It is important to the Vestry that all parishioners feel welcome to share their thoughts and ideas about God’s vision for us as a Christian community, and about your ideas for St. Michael’s. Parishioners are welcome to attend Vestry meetings, which are usually held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Langhorst Wing. These meetings are open and parishioners are welcome to attend.
