Vestry

The Vestry

Holy Comforter’s Vestry consists of 12 persons, each elected by the congregation to serve no more than a three-year term. The terms of each group of four are staggered so that four are elected annually and four are retired. The Vestry carries out its canonical duties through an organization of the officers (senior warden and junior warden), register, secretary, treasurer, assistant treasurer, committee chairs, and members at large, with the Rector as the chair. In making a commitment to serve, each Vestry member gives their time and talents to fulfilling this role.

Vestry Person of the Month (VPOM)

Each month one Vestry member is the Vestry Person of the Month (VPOM). The role of the VPOM is to serve as the point person for our combined interaction within the Holy Comforter community and the Vestry’s canonical role and responsibility in promoting the spiritual well-being of our parish.

For the month of May 2025, the VPOM is Kim Brailey.

Kim has been a member of Holy Comforter since 1999. She has two adult sons who grew up attending Holy Comforter. Both sons live in North Carolina. Andrew and his wife Olivia live in Fuquay-Varina where Olivia is in medical school and Liam lives in Durham and works as a budget officer for the town government in Cary. This is Kim’s second year on the Vestry and she is the Junior Warden and chair of the Newcomers, Growth, and Inclusion Committee. She currently also is a verger, Pennywise Board member, Pennywise volunteer, and Shrine Mont Parish Retreat Housing Coordinator. She has previously been a Stephen Minister, Discipleship Group leader, taught Sunday School, and ushered.

If you have any comments, questions, or are in need of pastoral care, please do not hesitate to reach out this month’s VPOM Kim Brailey.
