Our Way Forward
The CWLF has been encouraged by the wonderful stories of personal growth and development from participants of the Leadership Program at St. Paul University, and has for some time considered exploring additional avenues for leadership training for Catholic Women in Canada.
How We Strive
Many ideas have been advanced, including options for everything from additional certificate programs, to shorter content-specific courses or webinars, and even day or weekend retreats, virtual or otherwise. However, the CWLF was bound by the fairly particular rules of operation of its original federal charter documents. In 2020, the CWLF submitted an application to federal governing bodies to change its corporate character to expand the nature of its operations and the ways in which it delivers educational programming. This application was approved.
Expanding Our Horizons
The CWLF has been moving towards offering a broader range of leadership training options of varying lengths and forms. Stay tuned for exciting updates as we follow this new and wider path, and continue to help Catholic Women create a just, merciful, and compassionate world nurtured by the genius of women.
Working Toward a Brighter Future
Through the leadership of our subcommittees and the collaborative efforts of our dedicated volunteer Board and members, CWLF continues to make meaningful progress across key priorities. This ongoing work ensures we can consistently offer impactful programs that support, inspire, and uplift Catholic women.
