Happenings
Our CWL Council at Saint Edward’s Church, in Duncan, B.C., recently celebrated the 100th Anniversary of our League on November 23, 2020 by planting one hundred King Alfred daffodil bulbs! Now, that’s a lot of work, so the Queen of Angels kindergarten class came out to help plant them. Talk about a lot of energy and enthusiasm!
The CWL members at Trinity Church in Nanaimo BC certainly know how to “take lemons and make lemonade”! Even though the current epidemic keeps people apart from family and friends, this group of strong women have found a way to get together in a natural setting far more beautiful than any church basement or room. As you can see from the photo, these members are enjoying each other’s company and friendship on a truly beautiful day. Good going, Trinity CWL and keep overcoming these trying times.
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.
