Catholic Women's League
A national organization rooted in Gospel values calling its members to holiness through service to the people of God.
Mission Statement: The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is a national organization rooted in gospel values calling its members to holiness through service to the people of God.
The Regina Mundi Catholic Women's League (CWL) Council was established in 1961. We meet monthly during the year on the first Tuesday of the month.
The CWL promotes spiritual and personal development for catholic women in the parish.
Throughout its years of existence the Regina Mundi Council has enhanced parish life by promoting the establishment of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel for daily prayer, honouring the shrine to our Blessed Virgin Mary, and installing the stained glass window depicting the Annunciation of Our Lord.
Upcoming Events:
Potluck Dinner
The CWL will be holding their annual Potluck Dinner on Monday June 2nd. Doors will be open at 5:30 pm. Dinner will begin at 6 pm. Bring your favourite dish to share. We are once again asking women to donate a purse filled with toiletries which will be donated to homeless women and women in psychiatric care in Hamilton. Service pins will also be handed out that evening.
June Retreat
Join members of St Patrick CWL on Saturday, June 14 at Mount Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls for a spiritual enriching day as we ponder the role of faith, hope and charity in our lives.
Faith is the doorway to encountering God. Hope provides the anchor for our souls in the stormy seas of life. Charity is the heart of the Christian life. Through charity, we become instruments of God’s love in the world, serving others with compassion and empathy. In what areas of your faith do you need to grow? Do you have hope in the Lord no matter what? How can you be Jesus to those you encounter? Reflecting on the Jubilee theme of being Pilgrims of Hope, join us as we discover how to weave together the virtues of faith, hope and charity with faith as the foundation, hope as the driving force, and charity as the ultimate expression of love and service.
The cost is $70 per person, which includes lunch.
You are responsible for your own transportation.
