Zion Parish is governed by the Select Vestry – a group of people usually called simply ‘the Vestry’, chaired by the Rector of the parish. These sixteen people are elected at our annual meeting (the Easter General Vestry) in accordance with the Constitution of the Church of Ireland. The Constitution can be accessed HERE. Under charities legislation, members of the Vestry are also the legal trustees of the parish.
The parish finances are managed in an open and transparent way by the trustees. Financial Statements are presented at the Easter General Vestry.
