Distinguished Women for Triennial 2024

On behalf of the National Board of Episcopal Church Women, I warmly congratulate each and every one of you Triennial 2024 Distinguished Women, and what a true joy it is to be together, face to face, surrounded and celebrated by your ECW sisters from across the Episcopal Church, your family, and friends.

Chosen by the women of your diocese for this honor, each one of you has been a true gift to our Episcopal Church Women’s group, your parish, your diocese, and your community in so many wonderful, distinct and myriad ways. Those who know and honor you see you as women of deep faith in God, with strong convictions and the desire to be Christ’s hands and heart in this world using all your gifts and talents.

As you go forward, supported by the sisterhood of Episcopal Church Women, may you continue to lead the way in empowering other women of faith, shining and loving examples of the hands and heart of Jesus in this time and this place.

Blessings to each of you on this joyous occasion.

Jennifer Kenna, Province II Representative
