The Vestry is the governing body of an Episcopal Church, elected to represent the people of the Parish. At Memorial, our vestry is made up of twelve Parish members, the Senior and Junior Warden (similar to President and Vice President) and the Rector. Unlike some denominations, the Episcopal Church uses a representative form of government instead of a pure democracy. The Vestry members are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting held each January, and serve three-year terms of office.

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 how to make that vision a reality at Memorial. You are encouraged to speak with any of the Vestry members about your ideas for Memorial.
