102nd Annual Regina Diocesan Catholic Women’s League Convention

St. Joseph’s Church, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

May 3, 2025

The Regina Diocesan Annual Convention, hosted by St. Joseph’s Catholic Women’s League, was a success.  It was the first time the two day Regina Diocesan Convention was condensed into one day in order to keep consistent with the other two Saskatchewan Diocesan Conventions.  We hosted nearly 120 attendees, which is a good number.  Each committee was efficient and did their part to ensure success of the event.  Thank you to those committee leaders and the many volunteers, including the St. Joseph’s Catholic Girls’ League, who made the convention fruitful. As well as the business of the convention, there were guest speakers and a leadership workshop. Deacon Lamont Dyck spoke about “Being Present with Christ” and Peter Oliver presented on the Catholic Health Association of Saskatchewan, (CHAS), which is trying to combat MAiD. Diocesan President, Linda Maddaford, also spoke on “How Remarkable Women Lead”. There were five priests, and one deacon present which made for a powerful Mass. Church of Our Lady choir and the piper added to the ambiance of the day!
