The Catholic Women’s League would like to thank everyone who helped make our
2007 Membership Brunch a huge success. Here are just a few of
the many photos taken.
Whether you are married, single, young or old, have children or grandchildren,
or just moved into the district, the Catholic Women's League has something to
offer.
Founded in 1906 by Margaret Fletcher, the motto 'Charity
- Work - Loyalty' is as relevant now as it was 90 years ago. The league
aims to unite Catholic women in a bond of common fellowship, educational and
social welfare issues, both for civilian and armed forces and represents women's
interests on national and international bodies.
The Catholic Women's League of Canada was organized nationally in 1920. Our
Parish Council, 1978-2003, is proud to be celebrating 25 years of service
to our community.
Regular meetings of the Catholic Women’s League is the second Wednesday of each month beginning on September 10th. All women over the age of 16 are invited to attend. Spiritual Reflection starts at 7 p.m. and the meeting at 7.30 p.m. In Our Lady of Peace meeting room.
Because of rising costs, the CWL will be raising their annual dues to $25.00 beginning January 2004. If this creates financial hardship, please contact our president, Karen Wilson to make other arrangements discreetly.
We also like to thank all who contributed to the Christmas Shoebox campaign. We collected a total of 38 boxes! A very special thank you to all who gave so generously!

The 7 Ups
Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day. 'This is the day the
Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
Dress Up!! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A
smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not
look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the
Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us
two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much
listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his
soul." Proverbs 13:3
Stand Up!!... for what you believe in. Stand for something
or you will fall for anything. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for
at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore,
as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
Look Up!!... to the Lord. "I can do everything through
Christ who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13
Reach Up!!... for something higher. Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways,
acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
Lift Up!! ... your Prayers. "Do not worry about
anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6
