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.

Each year, the VGEC provides a limited number of scholarships to cover $200 of the registration expense. The Mark Emory Graham Scholarship Fund of the VGEC makes these grants possible. They are intended to develop the ministry of the verger and will be considered for junior vergers, new vergers, or first time attendees, or those with a financial need.

The president of the VGEC will review the requests and will contact each member making a scholarship request. The process is very easy, so if you are interested, please complete the form today.

The scholarship covers $200 of the registration fee but not transportation, lodging, or additional food or other expenses.
