Priscilla Wakelin, President

April 2023

On Saturday April 22 we held our 99th diocesan convention in St. Walberg was co- hosted by Paradise
Hill. It was a great day. And well attended. Fr. Millan Sajonas was our guest speaker and he
spoke about Mary.

We had more information on the new structure of the league, presented by Helen Kayfish. We
heard reports from standing committees. Most of our councils have moved to the new structure of
the league. At diocesan we have just transitioned over to the new structure.

We were blessed to have many past diocesan presidents at our convention. We had acknowledged
all of them that were present. There were nine including myself. Of these nine two ladies had been
president twice each on non consecutive terms.

Our National theme, “Catholic and Living it”. This is something we all do. We all love, share and
live our faith. We are all called to embrace the call to the gifts of the holy spirit and holiness. Do
we live it? How do we live it? I know we all have stories of how we live it.

Our councils have been very busy Some of the things that our councils are doing to show they are
Catholic and living it include spiritual bouquets, prayer services and celebrations, like the ordination
of Fr. Tai Le in our Diocese. Many parishes sent out Palliative care postcards. There were also
many humanitarian collections. Items continue to be sent to La Ronge sacred Site Outreach program.
Collections for Ukraine as well as for Ukraine refugees. Shoe boxes for operation Christmas
Child and teen aid. One parish also collected household items to furnish tiny homes on the reserve
close by called Door of Hope. Another program was Bags of Love. These bags are given to children
that have been removed from a home for the first time by Social Services. These are just a
few of the many wonderful things our CWL are doing in our parish for our communities. We are
looking forward to seeing how the new structure will unfold and come into fruition. We are looking
forward to the Provincial convention. Learning, growing and walking together on this journey.
