Catholic Women's League
The Catholic Women's League of Canada is a national Catholic women’s organization. The CWL provides an opportunity for Catholic women to live their faith within a sisterhood of other Catholic women sharing faith, fun and service.
Women can be involved on three levels according to their family/ work commitments:
Full Involvement: attend meetings, join in most activities
Partial Involvement: participating when time and opportunity allows
Silent: prayerful, moral/financial support
St. Vital Catholic Women’s League meets the 4th Tuesday of the month, September to June at 7:00pm downstairs in the Church Hall. All women of St. Vital Parish are invited to share their time and
talents. There is something for everybody in the CWL – take the opportunity and come find out what CWL has to offer you.
