Reaching Out
In an effort to reach out to all councils and parishioners across the Island, the Provincial Council is organizing CWL Sundays with parish councils that include either a meet and greet or informative speech for all parishioners with our Provincial President and/or provincial council members.
This is a great way to learn about the CWL and what
we do for our parishes, communities, province, and country through our ministries of Faith, Service, and Social Justice.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for information on how you can join one of the largest active women’s organizations in Canada and really make a difference.
— Karen Rossiter, PEI Provincial President.
