Parish Administrator: The Parish Administrator oversees the general operations and communications of the parish, including the production of the weekly bulletin, special mailings, and the ordering of supplies. She is regularly in the office every week day between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Contact Mary Rocap, 732-9308 .
Vestry: The vestry is the governing body of the parish and is comprised of nine members elected by the congregation. Each year at the annual meeting a class of three new members is elected to serve three years. Vestry meetings are held the 4th Tuesday of the month at 7:15 p.m. Each year, each member of the vestry is assigned to shepherd one of St. Matthew's eight core value areas, helping to ensure that all these values are clearly expressed, receive appropriate support, and serve the well-being of the parish and community. The vestry member becomes the liaison for their assigned core value area, reporting periodically to the vestry at a monthly vestry meeting. The Senior Warden is assigned to fill the same role with Administration and Finance. Confirmed parishioners interested in being nominated for vestry service should speak with any currently serving vestry member.
