General meetings:
The CWL will not have a General Meeting in December

Tuesday evening meetings take place following the 7:00 pm Mass in our Parish Hall.

News from the St. Aloysius CWL:
The CWL will be drawing for One free Membership for existing and new members. To be eligible, you must have your 2023 Membership Fee received prior to Feb 20, 2023. They encourage all women ages 16 and over to consider joining the league. A reminder, all fees for 2023 must be in by the end of the year. For questions, please call Lorraine Jack at 226-220-6948 or by email; mlorrainejack@gmail.com. The CWL will not be having a General Meeting in December.

The Catholic Women's League's 'Seniors Christmas Dinner' is coming back this year! It will be held in our Parish Hall on Wed Dec 7 from 6-8pm. Doors will open at 5:30pm. The CWL will be handing out a limited number of tickets on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are free and are only for seniors aged 65 and over who belong to St. Aloysius Parish. Tickets will be handed out after the weekend Masses on Nov 5 and 6

The CWL is proud to support the Waterloo Region Community Foundation’s ‘ToastyToes’ fundraiser. The campaign raises money for people experiencing homelessness.  The money is shared with local organizations who buy the new socks. Monetary donations can be made online through the ToastyToes fundraising page here; https://www.wrcf.ca/toastytoes. The ToastyToes campaign began in 2013, and has raised over $117,000 since then. This year’s campaign runs until Dec. 10.

 

 Membership dues for 2023 have recently increased! Annual dues have now changed to $36.00 per year. The increase is due to a change in fees from the Diocesan, Provincial and National levels, based on a motion voted on by all Councils. Fees have not changed in 11 years. Anyone who has already submitted their dues for 2023 will need to top up the difference. The CWL apologizes for the late notice to their members. Feel free to contact Kim Ansty at johnkimansty@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Dues are due in September.
CWL Membership envelopes are found inside the weekly offertory box. Please include your payment and print your name and address on the outside of the CWL envelope.

 

Congratulations to our 2022 CWL Executive who were officially installed on Sunday, Jun 5th, 2022 during our 11am Mass. 

The St. Aloysius CWL celebrated the Feast Day of their Patron Saint 'Our Lady of Good Counsel' on Tuesday April 26, 2022. Father Melvin joined them for food and fellowship in the Parish Hall. Below are a couple of pictures of our fabulous CWL ladies at the celebration along with Father.

A long-standing tradition for Catholic Women has been to join the Catholic Women’s League in their own parish

The League is comprised of women from every province in Canada working together to benefit their Church,  their Family and their Country while bringing ourselves closer to God and our eternal reward in Heaven.

Take a look at your own life and ask yourself if you have included GOD on your bucket list?

Today’s women are busier than ever, all we ask is for 2 hours a month, could you take some time to join?

You will make new friends that will last a lifetime while contributing to a wonderful organization doing good for God by helping our Sisters across the country and the world.
