Vestry Meeting
12:00 p.m. in the Forum.
The Vestry is the governing board of the parish and consists of the Priest-in-Charge, the Wardens and lay members. The Priest-in-Charge presides at meetings of the Vestry which handle the parish’s business and temporal matters. Additionally, the Vestry serves as a council of advice for the Priest-in-Charge. The Episcopal Church uses a representative form of government and members of the Vestry are elected at the Parish’s annual meeting. The Vestry serves many of the functions served by boards of directors or trustees of other organizations or businesses.
As its primary responsibility, the Vestry oversees the parish’s financial health. In partnership with the Priest-in-Charge, it develops and approves the annual parish budget. The Vestry also serves as an advisory council to the Priest-in-Charge who by church law is the parish’s chief liturgical and pastoral officer.
Vestry meetings are open to members of the parish and ample seating will be provided for visitors in the Forum. If you’re interested in observing the governance of All Saints Church, join us!
