Becky says, "“I can’t think of any group I’d rather be associated with than the vergers of the church. Always there when you need them, forging order out of chaos, making the clergy look like we know what we’re doing. It’s God’s work, I tell you. You are each a gift and a blessing to your parishes. Thank you for all you do. - Mother Becky"
