The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The number of vestry members is set by the parish By-Laws and is currently set at 10 including the Priest-in-Charge. Vestry members are elected at the annual parish meeting. The presiding officer of the vestry is the Priest-in-Charge. Saint Saviour’s has two wardens. The senior warden is a support person for the Priest-in-Charge. The junior warden often has responsibility for church property and buildings. A treasurer and a secretary are also elected at the annual parish meeting. The basic responsibilities of the vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church’s mission by word and deed, to select the priest-in-charge, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.
