The Catholic Women’s League (CWL) provides women with faith based opportunities for spiritual growth, leadership development and many avenues for service, advocacy and social justice. We offer hospitality, friendship, sisterhood, support and affirmation that empowers women to reach their full potential. As Catholic women, we are called to help in our parish and community.

STM Council: We are involved in all aspects of Parish Ministry.

We support Among Friends, Hope Cottage, Adsum House and the Admiral Nursing Home to name a few of our social outreach and service initiatives. We host funeral receptions to assist families experiencing the loss of a loved one. We offer bursaries as well as support parish religious education and youth programs.
