LEADERSHIP
St. Michael’s Church is led by a talented team of clergy and staff, and governed by a body of lay leaders called the Vestry, elected at the Annual Meeting of the Parish from among the parishioners.
Monthly meetings of the Vestry are led by the Priest and by the senior and junior Wardens, experienced members of the Vestry who serve in the same capacity as a president and vice-president of a board of directors.
The Priest, the Wardens, the Vestry, and the staff of the parish are ably assisted in the administration and operations of the parish by many dedicated committees and volunteers. Members of the administrative committees listed below are appointed by the priest and report to the Vestry.
