The Vestry is the governing board of the parish, made up of Volunteers. The presiding officer is the Rector. Voting members include the Wardens and nine members elected by the voting membership. Officers and the Associate Rector participate actively in the work of the Vestry but cannot vote. All are invited to Vestry meetings, typically held on the fourth Tuesday of the month, and they are Hybrid.

Please address any questions about the Vestry to clerk@stmarks.net .

Minutes of Vestry meetings are posted on the website and can be found here.
