Vergers | St. John's Cathedral Jacksonville

A verger is a committed lay minister within the Church, who assists the clergy in the conduct of public worship, especially in the marshaling of processions. The office of Verger has its roots in the earliest days of the Church's history. The contemporary office of Verger is experiencing a rapid expansion within the Episcopal Church, and the Verger's Guild at St. John's Cathedral sets the example for the Diocese of Florida. Our Vergers are volunteers with a special calling to the ordering and conduct of the Church's liturgy. Called to this ministry by invitation of the Dean, Vergers relieve the clergy of the burden of liturgical detail so that they can concentrate on their priestly duties to preach the Word and administer the Sacraments.

We appreciate your flower donations. Make a gift in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a person, an event or a milestone. Until it is safe to return to a full in-person worship schedule, we will be placing floral arrangements at the altar on Wednesday evening for the recording of the Virtual Service and on Sunday morning for the Social Distance services. Simple bouquets can be arranged using flowers from your garden or bought in the grocery store. Contact Teresa Mason to participate.
