Born in Carmarthenshire, Gower-Rees was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge. He was ordained deacon in 1905; and priest in 1906.[3] He served curacies in Walkley and Doncaster. He was Vicar of St James, Bolton, Bradford from 1912 to 1915; then a Chaplain to the Forces from 1915 to 1919. He was awarded the Military Cross in 1917 and wounded by a shell splinter the same year.[4]

After the war he returned to Bradford, staying until 1927, when he was appointed the Rector of St George, Montreal. He was Archdeacon of St Andrews, PQ from 1933 to 1940 and Archdeacon of Montreal from 1940 until his death in 1956. During World War II he was chaplain to the Canadian Navy.
