Catholic Women's League

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.

As the largest national organization of Catholic women in Canada, we seek to unite Catholic women as a community, striving for spiritual, cultural and intellectual growth, and the development of social action. All Catholic women are invited to respond to the call – knowing that their actions contribute to the life and vitality of the Church, family, and community.

Women from all walks of life are called forth to witness the life of Christ by constantly being in touch with the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Involvement in the League offers women a deeper appreciation of the Catholic faith. The League is a true reflection of the options expressed on a variety of issues, studied and research at the grassroots, resulting in formulation of resolutions. In keeping with our motto “For God and Canada”, resolutions are presented annually by the Catholic Women’s League of Canada to government at the federal and provincial levels, as statements of concern.

The League is very much a gift to all Catholic women. As CWL members we...
   • belong and walk in friendship and faith with other members
   • are a family and the ‘heart’ of our faith community
   • share the same God, the same goals, and the same aspirations with women
     of the same values and beliefs
   • share the beauty of the League where there is a place for women of all ages
   • receive the gift of a wholesome, balanced, healthy, productive and loving
     supportive group.

We invite all catholic women to journey with us in a sisterhood of faith, fun and fulfillment.

Meetings at our parish level are held the first Tuesday of each month from September to June at 7:00 p.m. in St. Joseph’s Basilica Parish Hall (entrance on Jasper Avenue).

Information on the CWL and on our Parish CWL Council upcoming events is available at the back of the church. To contact a member of the CWL Executive, call St. Joseph’s Basilica office at (780) 488-7295 or email info@stjosephbasilica.com
