Vestry

The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The number of vestry members and the term of office varies from parish to parish (St. Margaret’s has nine). Vestry members are usually elected at the annual parish meeting in January. The presiding officer of the vestry is the rector. There are two wardens. The senior warden leads the parish between rectors and is a support person for the rector. The junior warden often has responsibility for church property and buildings. A treasurer and a secretary are chosen and these officers may or may not be vestry members. The basic responsibilities of the vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church’s mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.

The Vestry usually meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:30PM – The date sometimes will change, so please look at the church calendar. All members of our church community are welcome to attend the monthly meetings.
