St. Mary's Collingwood Catholic Women's League
Why Join The League?
Service
Some of the members' most gratifying times can be when they volunteer their time and talent in the company of their sisters in Christ. Members could join your parish council's planning committees for fundraising such as the semi-annual bazaars. They will get to know their sisters in a different way and have some fun in the process. Along with other members, they could volunteer for parish ministries together. Hospitality, support of refugee families, seminarian assistance, bursaries to high school students; the opportunities to serve with their sisters in Christ are limitless! Especially for ministries that involve social interaction, this act of service will also foster their own enriched community life.
Faith
Growing in friendship while strengthening members' faith can be achieved in several ways. Members could join a bible study or small group. Over time, sharing faith journeys can lead to deep and authentic friendships. They could volunteer to visit shut-ins or join a prayer or rosary circle with other members. This sharing may bring them closer to Christ and allow friendships to blossom. Members could participate in or help organize the League's faith development offerings, such as reflections, discussions on matters of faith, retreats, tributes to Mary, etc.
Social Justice
Whether it is saving the environment, combating racism, protecting human life, social issues, members often feel called to act. And it is easier and more enriching to do so when others accompany them on the journey. Members could investigate League resolutions and, with their sisters in Christ, enact an "action plan". They could join or organize a gathering to write letters to government on an issue that is particularly important to them. Together, they could research and write a resolution about an issue they feel passionate about. Especially for ministries that involve social interaction, this act of service will also foster their own enriched community life.
