Catholic Women's League

Your browser is a little too old, consider updating to this century.

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. 

bulletBecause 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.
bulletWe 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!

CWL News: 

Parishioners are invited to share their baking talents the Catholic Women’s League at their bake table in conjunction with the K. Of C. yard sale, and BBQ. On Saturday May 12th . Baked goods will be received Friday evening at Our Lady of Peace room from 6pm. - 8 pm. You will recall that most of our proceeds go towards improvements in and around our parish. Purchasing our baked goods is also a wonderful way to support our parish.

The 7 Ups

  1. 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 
  2. 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 
  3. 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 
  4. 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 
  5. Look Up!!... to the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me". 
    Philippians 4:13 
  6. 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 
  7. Lift Up!! ... your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." 
    Philippians 4:6
