The Vestry is the administrative governing body of an Episcopal Church, elected to represent the people of the parish. At St. Paul’s, our vestry is made up of 12 parish members, from which a Senior Warden and Junior Warden are chosen. The Vestry members are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting held each January, and serve four-year terms of office.

The Vestry is responsible for all church property and assets, approves the budget, and authorizes major expenditures. The Vestry calls (hires) the Rector, with the approval of the Bishop.

The Vestry meets monthly to discuss, reflect and take action on the many important aspects of parish life. Meetings are typically run by the Rector and Senior Warden, and unless an executive session is called, are open for parishioners to observe.
