Highlights from the vestry meeting held on Thursday February 19, 2026, include the following.

• For 2026 Sally Bird was appointed the Treasurer, Eva Lesniak the Assistant Treasurer, and Tricia Simpson-Curtin the Clerk of the Vestry.  Diane Behdahmine agreed to continue as the recording secretary.  The vestry approved the Parochial Report online, approved the revised Inclement Weather Protocol and agreed to hold the Auction on Saturday, October 3rd.
• Vestry reviewed the results of information provided by the congregation during the annual meeting about which ministries the parish is most interested in supporting.  They include feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and visiting the lonely.  Mo. Kim asked the vestry for feedback on the materials and ideas to extend these ministries.
• The Good Friday Day of Service was discussed.  Most parishioners who led or helped with ministries in 2025 have stepped away this year;  with this change Cecilie Bulcha and Karen Holmes have felt called to reconsider the day and lead the overall event.  Cecilie and Karen will meet with former leaders Sally Bird and Eva Lesnaik to shape the event with old favorites as and fresh ideas.  Their recommendation is forthcoming.
• The Vestry Planning Meeting will be held March 14th and will be led by Fr. Anthony Pompa. The focus will be responsibilities of the vestry, identifying needs in each aspect of ministry, and determining which gifts are needed for each ministry and who has those gifts.
