The Diocese of Victoria CWL awards a Bursary of $750 each year to the child or grandchild of members of the Catholic Church graduating from secondary school who are going on to further their education. The Freda Smith Bursary is awarded in honour of Freda Smith, a long time member of CWL who for 49 years played the organ for services at Queen of Peace parish until she retired at the age of 89. She championed education during her years of dedicated work for the parish.

Hello, Everyone! You have to hand it to our CWL members up at St. Patrick’s Church in Campbell River. They don’t let the covid crisis slow them down.

Good Morning, Friends: We here, at St. Joseph the Very Hard Worker Parish Catholic Women's League are lucky to have Father Alfie as both our parish priest and our island CWL spiritual advisor. As I am sure you all are aware that our island parishes work with our health authorities to lessen people's potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus. This boils down to the fact that much of our CWL and parish activities are severely limited.

We members of St. Edward’s CWL had a wonderful day at the beginning of April. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and the air was crisp and St. Edward’s parking lot was full of people, cars and balloons of many colours.

Call to order: President Christa Grillmair called the meeting to order at 8:50 a.m. She welcomed Life Members Margaret Beardon, Ann Devlin, the Military Ordinariate and announced the names of the new council presidents:

Congratulations to Jane Brown for receiving her 45 year pin during Ascension Council’s Membership tea. Way to go, Jane, for all these years of dedication to the CWL!
