Anglican Church Women

The purposes and aims of Anglican Church Women (ACW) are to provide the opportunity in the Diocese for all women to be united in a fellowship of worship, learning and offering, with a view to deepen and strengthen their devotional life. It is to make all women of the Diocese aware of the total mission of the Church and to lead them into fuller Christian service.

Membership is open to all women who are supportive of the purposes and aims of ACW.

The work of ACW is done through the primary branches in the parishes and is under the direction and leadership of the Diocesan Council of ACW. Deanery branches are formed for fellowship and the sharing of ideas among primary branches.

The Diocesan Bishop is the Patron of ACW in our Diocese. The Bishop provides guidance and direction in the ongoing work and ministry of ACW. The Deanery branch is under the general direction of the Regional Dean. The Primary branch is under the general direction of the Rector.

ACW works through a Diocesan Council whose function is to promote and co-ordinate the purpose and aims of the organization. Officers who form Diocesan Council are:

At Holy Innocents we are blessed to have 20 plus active members of the ACW in our Parish and they are part of the ACW organization of the Diocese.  For more information on ACW visit the Diocesan Website at www.anglican.nfol.ca/ and access the tab entitled “our programs”
