    Favorite saint/figure in church history: This was a hard question for me to answer because I don't know many of the Episcopal church's saints and historical figures. If you're reading this and are also still learning, know that you're welcome here. That said, I enjoy celebrating the Feast of St. Francis every year with a pet blessing.

    Fun fact: I'm a quadruplet!

    Favorite saint/figure in church history: I admire Saint Arnold of Metz (Arnulf d'Herestal), scholar, administrator, eventual bishop, who renounced higher appointment in favor of a monastic life and contemplation on the heavenly perfection derived through fermentation. He is recognized as the patron saint of brewers.

What’s a Vestry?

The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. 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 rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.
