As League members begin to recognize their gifts, so too they respond to the call of sharing their gifts. The C.W.L. promote spiritual development, support the Christian family, encourage education and are an integral part of the local community. As C.W.L. members we pray for one another and are women of action. We care for the less fortunate and support our parish of Divine Infant. Please join us, as together we develop and share our ministry.

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.

History

The C.W.L. was formed in 1920 and today has near 100,000 members throughout Canada. We are also involved internationally through our membership in the World Union of Catholic Women's Organizations.

Members direct their work to the preservation of christian family life values; the sanctity of life, the promotion of Catholic education and affordable health services. We uphold human dignity by working to make life better for all people, especially the disadvantaged. We believe that women have an important role to play in church and society.

We are one of the few organizations that present resolutions to the government each year. Resolutions are one of the vehiclesused by members to influence governments to effect change in order to build a better society.
