The Vestry of Holy Cross

The Vestry is a group of 9 lay members who, with the Rector, oversee the life of our parish community. The Vestry is responsible for oversight of the temporal needs of the parish--administration of finance and upkeep of the grounds of the property--and act as a Council of Advice and Consent to the Rector. We are responsible for setting policy, vision and direction at the highest level in the parish. We are not a management committee. Members of the Vestry are elected in rotation at the annual parish meeting and serve for a three-year period.
