Blazing a trail for women in the church
Bishop Victoria MATTHEWS ‘72 has broken new ground for women in the Anglican Church since becoming the first Canadian female Bishop in 1994.

Her faith in that calling drove her on, and her work has taken her around the world, helping the disadvantaged and working to improve and strengthen the Church. She has been on the vanguard of progress within the Church and a symbol for women everywhere.
