As the Catholic Women’s League of Canada, we commemorated our 100th anniversary…. last year! At Christ the King, we planned to plant a tree as a lasting tribute to mark the occasion. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen in 2020. With the COVID pandemic cancelling all plans, and the fact the tree we wanted was not available, our plans were postponed to this year.

This is a time sensitive opportunity for you to study in Rome with the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations (WUCWO). Here are the details on applying:

“Dear friend,

I wish to inform you of the possibility for WUCWO women (aged 30-45) to apply to an Interdisciplinary Course for NGOs that will take place in Rome next September.

Here is the new information on the 2022 National Convention Pashmina Fundraiser. They are made of soft and beautiful cashmere. As they say, “Let our Lady wrap you in her arms with a beautiful cashmere pashmina.”

I wish to bring to everyone's attention that our beloved league continues to move forward confident that with God's help and our own hard work, we will be able to hold our CWL National Conference in Kelowna, BC, August 14-17. To this end, Christine Mason has written this special prayer for the success of our first "real" post COVID convention.

St. Edward’s Council in Duncan wanted to do something to celebrate the CWL’s 100th Anniversary and because of COVID, we did it in two parts.

If you recall, 2020 was the year that Tita A. and a few members along with a few husbands got together with the Queen of Angels School Kindergarten Teacher and class and planted 100 Daffodils. A lot of fun was had with the very keen children.

Dear Friends: I would like to share a joyous occasion with you. Our dear CLW sister, Josephine Meurs just celebrated her 100th birthday! She made it through World War II and the Nazis in German occupied Netherlands, so I think she is handing this pandemic as nothing new.
