Distinguished Women Honorees for Triennial 2022

Episcopal Church SheildOn behalf of the National Board of Episcopal Church Women, I  warmly congratulate each and every one of our Triennial 2022 Distinguished Women.

Chosen by the women of your diocese for this honor, each one of you has been a true gift to your 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.

Although we were unable to be together for Triennial 2022 in Baltimore for our 150th Anniversary, the NECW Board wanted to offer an opportunity for you to be formally recognized.

Blessings to you all as you go forward in faith as Episcopal Church Women remembering the past, serving the present and imagining the future.

Jennifer Kenna, Province II Representative
