UNITY IN THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE BONDS OF PEACE. Eph:4:3
As members of the Catholic Women’s League:
We rejoice in our unity, through the Holy Spirit and focus on serving Our Lord to the best of our ability. We strive to pray daily for peace and love among all people, especially, at this time, in our beloved South Africa.
When outsiders look at us and see the work that we are doing within the League, I’m sure they detect people going about their activities united with purpose through love and enthusiasm.
We call upon all Catholic women to join us and become a drop in the large ocean, which is the Catholic Women’s League. We have an important role to play in the Church and the CWL is one organisation where all women, both young and old, have a place.
Join us today!
