This weekend, we joyfully celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Catholic Women’s League at St. Francis de Sales Parish — a century of faith, dedication, and loving service to God and His people. What an extraordinary milestone!
For one hundred years, the women of our CWL have been a pillar of our parish community. Through prayers, acts of charity, education, and community support, they have strengthened our parish in countless ways. Their unwavering commitment reminds us all that faith is best lived through action and service.
As your parish priest, I must say it is hard to imagine St. Francis de Sales Parish without the CWL. From my perspective, the collaboration between clergy and this wonderful group of women has been a true blessing. Your generosity, dedication, and spirit of service make parish life richer, more joyful, and full of grace. I wish that every priest could be blessed with such a committed and loving community to work with!
We give heartfelt thanks and congratulations to all members — past and present — for their dedication, prayers, and hard work. Your faith and love have left an enduring mark on our parish and inspired generations of parishioners.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone this weekend, let us also pray for the continued growth and blessing of this vibrant ministry, that it may keep guiding, uplifting, and serving our parish community for many more years.
Prayer of Gratitude and Blessing:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the faithful women of the Catholic Women’s League at St. Francis de Sales Parish. Bless them abundantly for their prayers, their service, and their love. May they continue to be instruments of Your mercy, witnesses of Your Gospel, and a light of hope in our parish and community. Strengthen them in faith, courage, and joy as they continue their mission for generations to come. Amen.
Congratulations, CWL! Your century of dedication and love is a shining example for all of us. Let us celebrate with joy and gratitude.
