 Membership dues for 2023 have 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.
