Ms. Paula Carnegie
Verger

Servitas in cultu et cultus per servitatem: Service in worship and worship through service.  That is the motto of the Vergers Guild.  Paula, affectionately known as Madame Verger, takes pride in achieving recognition as a Fellow of the Guild in 2016. She was born and raised in Chicago and attended mostly the Presbyterian Church.  In December 1973, she joined the Episcopal Church.  Paula is a veteran of the Air Force, enlisting in January 1974 and retiring in February 1994.  She and her two children became members of St. Mary’s in January 1995, and other than a gap she has been a member over 20 years. Highlights of her ministries include altar guild and serving as acolyte and verger.  She truly loves her verger ministry, her children, grandchildren, great-granddaughter, her cats, playing the piano, and gardening.  Having reserved a spot in the Columbarium, St. Mary’s will be Paula’s final resting place.
