Welcome to the Catholic Women's League in the Diocese of Calgary

In the world today, as perhaps never before, the church needs an enlightened and faithful laity. Dedicated members of The Catholic Women's League of Canada live their faith by serving others and, thus, discover Christ through relationships with others.

"Live streaming for the annual national convention in Winnipeg will be provided, and I am pleased to announce that arrangements have been made to telecast the keynote address of Archbishop Murray Chatlain (Keewatin-Le Pas) on the topic "Listen Slowly: Women Guided by the Spirit". The telecast will be available via a link on the national website on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 from 1:45-4:15 p.m. CDT. ( Alberta at 12:45 - 3:15 p.m.) I invite you to “tune in” and to encourage other members to do likewise. Click on the link https://www.cwl.ca/category/media/videos/ or visit cwl.ca.

At the 71st Annual Convention of the Alberta Mackenzie Council, Renee Spohn, a member of St. Martha's Council, Lethbridge, was awarded with the Elsie Yanik award. This award is given to a member who portrays a leadership role and has demonstrated a commitment to ministry/service in an area or areas of need in a parish or community, as Elsie Yanik did.
