About the Catholic Women's league of Canada
The Catholic Women's League of Canada calls its members to grow in faith, and to witness to the love of God through ministry and service. We are always looking for new members and for those who are looking to take on a leadership role. Please contact our president for more information.
CWL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE:
The CWL Membership Drive is on as we welcome back all our current members and we reach out to all ladies who may be interested in the league.
The objects of the League shall be to unite Catholic Women of Canada:
- To achieve individual & collective spiritual development
- To promote the teachings of the Catholic Church
- To exemplify the Christian ideal in home & family life
- To protect the sanctity of human life
- To enhance the role of women in church & society
- To recognize the human dignity of all people everywhere
- To uphold & defend Christian education & values in the modern world
- To contribute to the understanding and growth of religious freedom, social justice, peace and harmony.
Our organization helps not just on a parish/community level. We also take part in a regional, provincial and national level. It is a fantastic way to make great friends with other Catholic women in our parish and do many wonderful things within our local community.
We have informative spiritual teachings at the beginning of the meetings which start at 7:30PM following Holy Mass on the second Tuesday of each month, excluding July and August. Do as much as you wish or just come and be a part of it all for the fellowship.
