 Mission Statement |
 |
 ... a national organization rooted in gospel values calling its members to holiness through service to the People of God. Welcome to the Hamilton Diocesan Council of the Catholic Women's League of Canada. As we begin the year 2009-2010, we have over 11,000 members in 103 parishes across the diocese: which stretches from Owen Sound in the north, to Hamilton in the south and from Brantford in the west to Oakville in the east.
The Diocesan Council is elected every two years and is made up of elected officers and standing committee chairs who offer consultation to the parish councils. We conduct meetings in the spring and the fall throughout the diocese. This year's Annual Meeting will be held at the Delta Kitchener-Waterloo from May 29-31. We have adopted the theme Women of Peace and Hope ... Pillars of Faith for this year. Our patroness is Our Lady of Good Counsel. We celebrate her feastday on Sunday, April 26. On Saturday, October 24 we are introducing an initiative called Project Outreach at St. Teresa of Avila Council in Elmira. We joined with the Knights of Columbus and the Serra Club to host the 8th Annual Mass for Vocations on Sunday, September 20 at Our Lady of the Purification Parish in Mount Forest. Please contact your local parish for more information about the Catholic Women’s League Council near you. Mary Jane A. Yaeger, Diocesan President Send us your comments, ideas and suggestions. |
