The Vestry is the governing body of the parish and is composed of the Rector, the Wardens, a Clerk, a Treasurer, and nine members. The Vestry meets monthly on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. from September to June; meetings are open to all interested parishioners. As the legal governing body of the parish, the Vestry hires the Rector, approves the parish budget, and makes decisions on parish property. Vestry members are proposed by the Nominating Committee and serve for three year terms; the Clerk, Treasurer and Wardens serve for one year. If you would like to have a message relayed to the vestry or if you have an item you would like to see raised at the next vestry meeting, please contac our wardens, by writing to wardens@stjohnsessex.org or clicking here.
