CATHOLIC WOMEN'S LEAGUE
St. John Bosco Parish Chapter
President: Mary MacDermott
The St. John Bosco Catholic Women's League signed its charter as an official league in this parish in January 2009.
The Core Purpose of the C.W.L. is to unite Catholic women to grow in faith and to promote social justice through service to the church, Canada, and the world.
*** Usually, our members meet monthly on the 4th Tuesday of every month at St. John Bosco Parish in Brockville, ON. ***
Our Patroness is Our Lady of Good Counsel.
We believe that women play a vital role in church and society.
We believe in Catholic education and affordable health services.
We believe in the power of prayer.
Catholic Women's League members contribute to our parish and community through educational bursaries, family assistance, the local Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes and other charities. We enjoy raising funds with our Christmas Bake Sale, our annual Craft Fair and the not to be missed Plant Sale in the spring. We also cater for parish events.
Many of our ladies are busy volunteers in our community for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Palliative Care, Loaves and Fishes, and other community organizations.
Membership benefits include The Canadian League magazine (3X per year), and an invitation to live Christian values in service to our Church, our community, and our country while making the best use of our time and talents.
