St. Mary Episcopal Church Our Officers |
 |
In an Episcopal Parish such as St. Mary, the lay men and women who make up the governing Officers of the church are known, collectively, as the Vestry. Together with the Rector and the People's and Rector's Wardens (also lay men and women), they make up the corporate entity of the Parish: "The Rector, Wardens, and Vestrymen of St. Mary Episcopal Church."
Under the Episcopal system, the Rector has charge of all spiritual matters of the Parish, while the Wardens and Vestry have responsibility for all temporal matters of the Congregation. However, in reality, both Rector, Wardens and Vestrymen share many of the responsibilities in the leadership of the Parish as they try to follow Christ's will in our corporate life of the Parish.
Below are listed the elected lay leaders of our Parish Family. Vestry members can be identified by the "Vestry" pin that each of them wears. In addition, all Vestry meetings are open meetings, to which any member of the Parish is invited to attend. Meeting times are listed in the Parish calendar and in the newsletter The Magnificat.
