The Vestry
The Vestry of Saint Mark's is the elected body of lay leadership. By church law they are entrusted with the oversight of the temporal affairs of the parish. In practice, they serve as a council of leadership and advice, sharing the ministry of leadership with the Rector, other clergy and staff. The Vestry normally meets every month on the third Tuesday of the month.
There are four officers of the Vestry: the Rector's Warden, Accounting Warden, Treasurer and Secretary. The Rector appoints his warden; the other officers are elected by the Vestry . According to the Parish By-Laws, Vestry elections are held every year early in June. A normal term for a Vestry member is three years.
