Dear Friends: I would like to make a comment about the difficulty I had in posting our Diocesan CWL Present Christa's Christmas greetings.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair ...”

The members of St. Patrick’s CWL Council (Victoria) may not be able to cure COVID 19, but they certainly know how to spread Christmas Cheer around to their isolated League sisters. Our gang at St. Pat’s cooked up a mess of cookies and distributed them along with Catholic calendars and prayer books to our isolated people at their houses and nursing homes. Berny did the baking and packaged them up professionally while Susie N. and Nancy S. delivered them.

Way to go, St. Pat’s and thank you, Lorrie V. for sharing this with us!

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!

Have you ever found yourself during this pandemic wandering into a room and standing in front of your computer asking yourself: Who am I, what day is this, why am I standing here, what’s for lunch?

Have you ever wanted to be really “cool” at a CWL meeting or convention? Do you crave to be part of the “in crowd” at a Zoom meeting? Well, here’s the chance to be all that by letting Our Lady wrap you in her arms with a warm cuddly and soft cashmere pashmina. (That’s a prayer shawl).
