Vestry

The vestry is the governing board of the parish.  St. Matthew has nine vestry members, two of whom serve as the Senior and Junior Wardens.  Each vestry member is elected to a three year term at the parish's annual meeting.  Along with the priest of the parish, who serves ex officio on the vestry, there are three officers of the vestry: the clerk (or secretary), the treasurer and the chancellor.  Please see the link below for our Vestry Meeting Schedule.  Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are open to the public and attendance and participation is strongly encouraged!

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup Tribe. The Puyallup people have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time, and continue to do so today. We recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.
