The Catholic Women’s League of St. Mary’s Parish

BEGAN in 1933

If you are a Catholic woman 16 years and older, there is a place for you!

Our Membership Invites:

  • Those who have little time due to life circumstance or health issues but are interested in praying for special intentions, for the League, for areas of social justice, peace in our local community, our country and abroad, your service is needed.  Become a member!
  • Those who have some time to volunteer but can’t always make it to meetings; please share your time and talent within the many ministries and fundraisers the CWL is a part of and join your sisters in service.  Every little effort helps.   Become a member!
  • Those of you who would like to be fully active, attend meetings, socialize, lead and pioneer in a changing environment, the CWL is the place for you.   Become a member!

 CWL Members are very visible in their parish, community, country and abroad.  In our Parish we are lectors, ushers, sacristans, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, and members of the choir.  We visit the sick and elderly, aid in masses at Care Homes, volunteer at St. Mary’s School, and in prison ministry.  We provide funeral luncheons and donate money to the school, the parish, and various charities. 

Within the community, our members can be seen at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission, collecting and donating food for the Food Bank, the Compassionate Neighbourhood Health Partners Society, the World Day of Prayer, Saturday Manna and the Prolife Society.   

Our strength is in our numbers!  In Canada and abroad we provide awareness and response to political and social issues which affect us all.  We use our numbers to lobby and affect change. So please connect with us to learn more and become a member!
