Welcome to the website of the Vergers of St. Paul's Cathedral

Francis Michael Palms III, Verger
(January 9, 1937 - May 29, 2008)

Rest in Peace, Frank.  We will miss you.  You have always been here for us in so many ways.  The Vergers of St. Paul's Cathedral, San Diego will always remember you.  Phil, please know you have our love and support and the Vergers will always be here to hold you up.

In this site, you will learn about the history of the Verger and the ministry of the Vergers at the Cathedral.

If you are already an Acolyte, Thurifer, Chalice Bearer, Lector or Daily Office Officiant, you can find the current schedules posted on the calendar page. Contact information for the various leaders is also available.

The Verger has a long history in the Church of England and this ministry has exploded in the Episcopal Church over the past few years. Come in and find out about us!
