All women of Resurrection Parish are invited to share their time and talents, by joining our CWL!  Our members enjoy fellowship at our monthly meetings, connecting with other Catholic women and taking part in our spiritual programs.  Others like to do service in the greater community through CWL, volunteering to help with birthday parties and resident activities at our long-term care facilities.  Our Bake Sales are a popular parish event that is coordinated by the CWL.  There is something for everybody in the CWL – take the opportunity and come find out what CWL has to offer you.

Our Activities

The Resurrection Parish CWL meets on the first Tuesday of every month, at 7:30 p.m., at Resurrection Parish.  All women of the parish are invited to join us for these evenings of fun, fellowship and service.   In addition to conducting CWL business, our meetings regularly feature spiritual programs and guest speakers.  Additionally, our CWL Executive meets on the fourth Thursday of every month, at 7:00 p.m., at Resurrection Parish.
