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.
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 October 2026, the VPOM is Winifred Conkling.
Winifred is a first-year vestry member serving as chair of the Newcomers, Growth, and Inclusion Committee and leader of Meaningful Engagement. She participates in the Tuesday morning Women’s Bible Study group. She joined Holy Comforter almost 30 years ago and over the years has volunteered with the FACETs hot meal program, helped with coffee hour, served as a Sunday School teacher and led the Stephen Ministry program. .
If you have any comments, questions, or need pastoral care, please do not hesitate to reach out this month’s VPOM,
Winifred Conkling.
