Verger Guild

St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral

Verger Guild - A verger is a committed lay minister within the Church who assists the clergy in the conduct of public worship, especially in the marshalling of processions.  Vergers can be full-time or part-time, paid or volunteer.  Their duties can be purely ceremonial or include other responsibilities.  Usually thought of as someone who carries a mace or ceremonial staff in procession; vergers sometimes also had the responsibility for the condition of the interior of a church.  Currently we are seeking new members for this very important guild.  If you are interested please contact the office and we will put you in with our Verger Coordinator, George Anderson, III.
