CWL Newsletter 2019 Sep-Oct

Posted On 21st Sep 2019

I welcome all of us back from our summer holiday, back to that time of the year when we are busier than usual planning and doing things to keep our League alive and well. An important part of what we do in this regard is our prayers for the League to remain true to its mission in our changing world. In this world, to stay alive and well and relevant, organizations must continue to renew themselves. The leadership of our League knows this. It also knows that renewal is an uphill task. To be successful, those who undertake to renew themselves and their organization need all the help they can get from on high because, in spite of the best of our human efforts, so much depends on the will of God. This is why we are encouraged to persevere in our prayers for the renewal our League. And available to us for this purpose is the CWL Prayer of Renewal.

This beautifully crafted prayer is addressed to God of new beginnings, the God who is ever at work making all things new. In this prayer, we are asking for, among other things, “the grace discernment and that “each of us open her heart and mind to Your will and welcome the new life You bring to the League.” Open heart and mind, and the grace to welcome the new. We all need these lest we become trapped in the past and refuse the grace of renewal.

In a way, this prayer is a reminder to us that we need to take another look at the life of the League in our Parish. If we do, it will most probably become clear to us that all is not well. Recently, a concerned past president had this to say about the present state of our Council: “We cannot just boast that we have 212 members and not have programs that incorporate all the needs of the Council and no one to contribute.” I am sure that this expresses the thought of many of us. From all indications, we need the renewal we are praying for.

Perhaps we need to do more than we are doing to seek honest answers to such questions as: Why is there this evident lack of interest in the affairs of the Council on the part of many of the registered members? Why is there this evident unwillingness to accept leadership positions? Is our League, in keeping with its mission, calling the members to grow in faith, and to witness to the love of God through ministry and service? What can we renew to make sure that this League stays alive and well?

Surely the renewal we are praying for will happen with the help of our Lady of Good Counsel if we are open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let us do all we can to make it happen.

Welcome back everyone! We hope you had a blessed and fun summer. The weather definitely cooperated this year.

We’re looking forward to a very busy fall and winter. We will be having another CWL recollection Saturday September 14th led by Father Oliver. His topic will reflect our September virtue of Prudence.

We’re also looking forward to Square Dancing on Saturday September (21st). For the first time Square Dancing will be a culmination of the Fall Village Festival and a movie night is on November 27th. The Bazaar is coming will be in November. Our planning meeting for the Bazaar is on Monday September 16th. We would love to see some new faces as well as those of you who have helped out in the past. We are especially looking for some help with the Apple Pie days. On October 19th, St. Joseph’s Church has the privilege of hosting the Bishop’s Altar Server Awards for the Eastern Pastoral region. We need help with this event, give us a call.

We’re very disappointed that we’ve had to cancel the Annual Interfaith Celebration after 25 years this year. We will definitely work hard to get this scheduled next year.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at our meetings and at our fruitful events this year. Please take a look at the Dates to Remember for more information.

Heritage Day Bazaar this year was once again a resounding success as you can see from the numbers. It is an effort from so many of you, our members, as well as the support from the KofC, 50+ club, parishioners, friends and family who support our efforts at each of the Bazaars. Thank you.

Hello Ladies,
Hope you all had a great summer and are feeling rejuvenated!!

I want to start by sharing with you the first directive sent by Mary Capobianco, who is the new Ontario Provincial Council, Community Life Chairperson, According to her; “The next two years, our Provincial President, Colleen Perry, has challenged us to build on the momentum of the Homelessness and the Warmth and Comfort Project and focus on Loneliness. Loneliness, by definition, is a complex and usually unpleasant emotional response to isolation. Loneliness typically includes anxious feelings about a lack of connection or communication with other beings. The causes of loneliness are varied and include social, mental, emotional, and physical factors.”

Colleen Perry asked each standing chairperson to develop a plan of how they can address this issue in their committees and Mary initiated the following project for the Community Life Standing Committee.

The C.A.R.E. Connection Project.
C – Communicate – Reach out to someone. It starts with a simple Hello
A – Act – Do something! Don’t just think about doing it or don’t wait. Just do it!
R – Respect – Respect people’s situation. Don’t judge. Be aware of their boundaries.
E – Engage – You just need to take that first step to make a world of difference to someone.

Some of the questions asked that we should think about are:

How does your council keep in touch with those members that can’t attend meetings or attend regular Mass? How do you communicate with them?
Does your council have a telephone committee?
Does your parish have a Caring Ministry; a hospitality committee or greeters?
Does your parish have a youth group; a craft circle, a mom and tots group?
Do you have a group that visits shut-ins, nursing homes etc.?

The great thing is that the St. Joseph’s church and our CWL at St. Joe’s does in fact do many of the things that are listed above. However, we need to think about (a) Expanding what is already been done by maybe forming a sub-committee (b) thinking about new ways that we can reach out to those alone.

If you have any suggestions or would like to take the initiative to do something please do give me a call

10th Annual Mass to End Woman Abuse
The Catholic Family Services of Toronto Foundation invites you to attend the annual mass offered to End Woman Abuse. It will be held on Thursday, October 10th at 7:00 pm. at St. Roch Parish (2889 Islington Ave). All members and families are encouraged and invited to attend.

Dear Sisters in the CWL,
Hope this newsletter finds you all in excellent health and have enjoyed the summer. As school reopens, allow me to draw to your attention our annual youth awards.

Mary Matthews Public Speaking Contest
- The Parish level Mary Matthews Public Speaking Contest has been set for Sunday March 1, 2020 at
  St. Joseph’s. from 1:00 – 4:00
  The Toronto Diocesan level contest is on March 28th, 2020 and will be held at St. Roch Parish.
Jean McCann Service Award
Mary Dobell Pro-Life Essay and Contest

All these contests will be held again this year and are open to students in grades 7 and higher. Please spread the word by encouraging young people in your family and/or friend circle to participate! More information about the contests can be easily accessed through CWL website at www.cwltoronto.ca

Just before the summer, many of our sisters took a pledge to save water in multiple ways, and we encourage you to continue to help us care for our common home.

Another environmental concern is plastic waste, a major part of which is one-time use and disposable plastic waste. At the 2018 G7 Summit, the Oceans Plastic Charter was signed by leaders of many countries committed to more sustainable, responsible and efficient plastic management, namely Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the European Union. This is an extremely important issue for the future of our planet – but each of us can do a small part to help, for example, bringing your reusable water bottles and shopping bags. For more information on how you can help, please visit g7.gc.ca/wpcontent/uploads/2018/06/OceanPlasticsCharter.pdf.

This month of September marks the 8th World Alzheimer’s Month, an international campaign held every year that aims to combat misinformation, stigma and stereotypes and spread awareness about dementia, an ever-important issue. The impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is growing, but the stigmatisation and misinformation that surrounds dementia remains a global problem with global effect that requires global action.
Stigmatisation of Alzheimer’s prevents those affected from accepting or seeking help, and often prevents help from being provided, as well as worsening the illness. Global discourse and discussion about this topic are essential to reducing the stigma. During World Alzheimer’s Month we encourage you to find out more and play your part in reducing the stigma and improving the lives of people with dementia and their caregivers in your community.

October 10th, 2019 marks World Mental Health Day, with the overall objective of raising awareness and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. This year, the theme is suicide prevention. Every suicide is a tragedy that affects families, communities and entire countries and has long-lasting effects on the people left behind. Suicide occurs throughout life and is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds globally but affects all ages and backgrounds.

On average, over 10 Canadians die by suicide daily. For every person lost to suicide, many more experience suicidal thoughts or attempts, and many more are affected by the loss. It is, however, important to remember that if each of us does even a little to help, we can combat many major issues, and let us all do our best to learn more about these issues, and do our bit to make this world a better place.

Pornography Hurts Campaign – This is an issue which we must continue to bring to the forefront.

CWL Councils and Parish Communities from across the Country are encouraged to fill out and mail these “Pornography Hurts Everyone” cards to the House of Commons (No Postage Required). These cards are available at each of our General Meetings and will be available to you at our upcoming Potluck Dinner on Monday December 9th – 7:00 p.m. and will mail them in bulk on your behalf.

REMEMBER WEB WEDNESDAY!

September brings with it ”Back to School” comforting rituals. The first day of school represents something of a rebirth. It offers an opportunity for new experiences, new relationships, new knowledge and new skills. For most of individuals, these routines bring excitement and eager anticipation. But for some students these are days of anxiety. I ask that you please pray for all staff and students as they begin to strive towards their fullest potential this school year. May they feel and see God’s loving presence each day within the classroom.

Autumn also brings with it a change in weather. The long sunny days become shorter and the nights become cooler. We experience more rainy days and even the first flakes of snow. However, God provides us with such splendid colours in the leaves, each one so unique like ourselves. God asks us to take the time to reflect on all the things we are “Thankful” for in our lives and consider our own unique qualities.

Ignatius spirituality recognizes how in the Autumn we spend more time indoors and calls us to consider the interior of our hearts. God is present with us at all times, but can we pay attention to the “Movement of the Spirit” within us. The challenge is can we find a quiet time this season to make a new effort to attend to the movements within and discern where God calls us to go?

Remembering Our CWL Members

Western individualism has sparked unprecedented social isolation, so we need to recover the biblical vision of human nature and community. I am sure most of us have spoken with friends, family or CWL sisters who are experiencing loneliness and isolation. This only increases when individuals may no longer be able to get out in the community for various reasons and have become shut in their homes or have limited social activities. In Paul’s letters he emphasizes establishing healthy community through sacrificial relationships.

Presently, we have about 14 CWL sisters who are shut-ins and would love to receive a phone call or visit from our members. As some of you are aware for those sisters who are not well we provide a beautiful handmade lap quilt. On the back of the quilt there is a special message telling our sisters that they were prayed for as this quilt was loving made just for them. I am sure you can image how this touches a person’s heart knowing they are cared for so deeply. God asks us to be devoted to one another in love. If any CWL members feel “Called to this Ministry” to visit or phone our CWL members please contact Lucia Vacca. Be a joyful spirit for those in need.

Life Chain- Solidarity for the Unborn

The Annual Life Chain will take place on Sunday October 6th. St. Joseph Parish will gather as a group at Lawrence and Kingston Rds. at 2:00 p.m. My family makes this an annual event. It doesn’t take a lot of time and it would be great to see more of you this year. We need to show our support for this important Social Issue. Be the Voice of the Voiceless.

Thanksgiving – Monday, October 7th, 2019 is the Thanksgiving Holiday.

A Prayer of Thanks for Our Many Blessings

“Oh God, You are so good. You are faithful and gracious and You have blessed me beyond measure. Thank you for everyday blessings to which I have become accustomed, but never want to take for granted: clean drinking water, electricity, food in my pantry, hot showers, a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in.

Thank you for legs that carry me where I need to go and hands that enable me to accomplish many things. Thank you for my hearing and my vision and for a sound, healthy mind.
Thank you my family, my friends, my job, my neighbors. Thank you for freedom to attend my church, for my pastors, and for my small group(s) and my many relationships.

Thank you for the things You are doing in my heart and in my life. I’m grateful that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I am much different today than I was 10 years ago, or a year ago. I am even different that I was at the beginning of this year, and it’s because of Your power at work in me, continually transforming me into Your image.

I love and adore You, Lord, and my heart overflows with gratitude for all these blessings. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.”

The following are the Resolutions which were presented and passed at the three levels of the Catholic Women’s League conventions. These very important resolutions will be brought to the various levels of Government by the representative body.
