Vestry
The vestry is the governing board of church members who are canonically responsible for managing the church’s resources and finances. Vestry members are also seen working alongside the rector and staff to help shape and support Holy Trinity’s mission. The Vestry meets monthly to review the financial health of the parish, to discuss improvements, and to prayerfully consider the needs, and goals for the parish and community.
