Registration Closed Sunday, Sept 17th at Midnight, Central time

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Susan Brown Snook, Bishop of San Diego, and the Vergers and Staff of St. Paul's Cathedral are excited to welcome the Vergers Guild of the Episcopal Church to their 2023 Annual Conference. Head Verger Lisa Churchill and her team have put together an awesome conference. Great fun, wonderful fellowship, sacred worship, stellar workshops, and a dynamic Keynote speaker.

The 2023 Annual Conference Committee has come up with an optional sunset cruise of the San Diego Bay. Before the committee can commit with the cruise company we need to know how many conference attendees and guests are interested in the cruise. 

Sights and Sips Sunset Cruise on Friday, September 29

This Sunset Cruise is a one-of-a-kind happy hour with displayed hors d'oeuvres, tray-passed desserts, and drink specials to enjoy in our breezy, indoor, and outdoor dining area. The Sights and Sips Cocktail Cruise has been a popular summer cruise going into its eleventh year.
