Catherine (Kit) Stevenson, ODNW passed away in the early morning of February 5th at the age of 90.

Kit had a long history of service to the Parish of St. Christopher, West Vancouver and the Diocese. Kit’s passion for the dignity and respect of women led her to take action and she helped to found the Diocesan Unit Against Violence and Pornography — a group that did much to raise awareness of and speak out against abuse of women in our society.

Rob Dickson, Business Administrator of the Diocese of New Westminster and also a parishioner of St. Christopher's said "She was wonderful person, a true friend and a strength in our Parish and a strength in the Diocese and beyond with her strong sense of social justice. She will be missed by many."

Kit's Memorial took place at St. Christopher's, West Vancouver, Saturday, February 23rd.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
