Catholic Women's League of Saskatchewan

  

Greetings;

  
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Saskatchewan Catholic Women’s League of Canada website. While our website is not new, it has certainly been updated.  We now have a links for each diocese where you can see all the news. However, we do need all members to send us pictures and write-ups about your great events. 

  

We are the Catholic Women’s League of Canada; we have been here for almost 100 years and our stories need to be told!  The email address for submissions is listed under ‘contact us’. 

  

In January, 2017, we were given a new theme from our National executive:  ‘Inspired by the Spirit, Women Respond to God’s Call.’  This is not a challenge, but a reminder that all that we do comes from God. It also reminds us that God gives us what we need to carry on His works. An explanation of the beautiful theme logo can be found below. 

  

I look forward to the next two years, travelling the province and representing you at the National table.

  

 - Margaret Schwab, Saskatchewan Provincial President
