Mrs. Helen Gail Revitt Archbishop’s Nominee

Upon the presentation of the Order of the Diocese of New Westminster 2020    

The introduction of the recipient read at the Service  

Gail has been a leader of the Anglican Church Women for many years, in her parish of St Cuthbert, Delta, and then at ACW Place starting with the Social Action Committee. As a representative to the ACW Executive Board, she was then appointed Member for Social Action. From that appointment, she became Vice President for three years and is now serving a three year term as President of the Diocesan ACW, while continuing her interest in social action. The Anglican Church Women have branches in many churches in the Diocese and Gail is particularly encouraged by their support which provides used clothing to parishes in the Diocese of the Yukon and to local organizations, and their commitment to other charities through the Grains of Salt program.  

The Citation as recorded in the Permanent Register of the Order  

Gail has been worshipping in the Diocese of New Westminster since 1975, where she has attended St. Cuthbert’s in North Delta the whole time. Throughout the years, she has been a Sunday School Teacher, member of Parish Council and on the building committee in the 1980s for the new St Cuthbert’s church building. During this time, she also was the leader of the Anglican Church Women for many years, then various executive positions, leading to her working at ACW Place with the Social Action Committee. As a representative to the Executive Board for ACW, she was then appointed Member for Social Action. From that appointment, she moved on to become Vice President for 3 years and is now serving a three year term as President of the Diocesan ACW Board. Her work with Social Action continues as well. The Anglican Church Women have branches in many churches in the Diocese and one of their mandates is to provide used clothing to many parishes in the Diocese of the Yukon and to local organizations, and support to many other charities through the Grains of Salt program. It was a pleasure for Gail to have been a volunteer in 2019 for the National Synod.
