The Dean has called a Special Meeting of the Vestry to be held at 6:00 p.m. on September 15, 2026 to consider the following amendment to the Second Restated Bylaws.
Amendment: The Vestry intends to amend the Second Restated Bylaws of St. Mark’s Cathedral Parish by re-numbering the current Articles XII and XIII to become Articles XIII and XIV and adding a new Article XII (Mission):
ARTICLE XII
MISSION
Section 1. This Corporation (a) strives for justice and peace, respecting the dignity of every human being, (b) seeks to nurture a culture where all are encouraged and equipped to live out the call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, and (c) pursues justice and reconciliation across a myriad of critical issues, including housing and racial justice.
Section 2. In furtherance of and subject to the limitations of (a) Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and (b) Articles III (Purposes), IV (Powers), and V (Limitations) of the Articles of Incorporation, this Corporation undertakes a portfolio of hunger and housing ministries. The Corporation is committed to addressing a full spectrum of housing needs from acute shelter to long-term affordable housing and from direct service to advocacy for systemic changes to achieve housing justice.
A copy of the revisions to the Bylaws can be found posted with the notice on the bulletin board outside the main office in Hoerster Annex and in the kiosk sign on the front terrace of the Cathedral. A full red-line version of the By-laws can be downloaded below.
The Cathedral Bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Vestry at any regular or special meeting, so long as appropriate notice is given in accordance with the Bylaws. Please address questions to Dean Thomason or Chancellor Re Knack.
