Join Us

All women of Resurrection Parish are invited to share their time and talents, by joining our CWL!  Our members enjoy fellowship at our monthly meetings, connecting with other Catholic women and taking part in our spiritual programs.  Others like to do service in the greater community through CWL, volunteering to help with birthday parties and resident activities at our long-term care facilities.  Our Bake Sales are a popular parish event that is coordinated by the CWL.  There is something for everybody in the CWL – take the opportunity and come find out what CWL has to offer you.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact our CWL President, Rosella McGrane by telephone at 306-789-6314. For more information about the CWL, who we are, and what we do, please visit our national homepage at www.cwl.ca

Our History

The Resurrection Parish CWL was founded in December 2006, with members signing the organization’s charter in Regina, SK.  

Our Mission

“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” (CWL, 2012, Our Mission, ¶1).  The Resurrection Parish CWL offers the women of our parish an opportunity to connect with others and make a difference, both within our parish and out in the greater community.

Our Activities

The Resurrection Parish CWL meets on the first Tuesday of every month, at 7:30 p.m., at Resurrection Parish.  All women of the parish are invited to join us for these evenings of fun, fellowship and service.   In addition to conducting CWL business, our meetings regularly feature spiritual programs and guest speakers.  Additionally, our CWL Executive meets on the fourth Thursday of every month, at 7:00 p.m., at Resurrection Parish.  

While meetings are important, they are only a small part of what the CWL does at Resurrection Parish.  Our CWL is very active, both within the church and out in the community.  CWL members volunteer their time and talents in many ways.
