Community Outreach Program
Partnering to help
in our Community
Starting in April 2024, the focus for all the CWL Dioceses across Canada would be on some aspect of mental health; it was decided that the St. Catharines CWL Diocese focus would be the “unhoused and mental health”.
Pelham Cares, St Vincent de Paul and the Hope Centre will be the primary places that will benefit from donations collected from St. Alexander CWL initiatives.
When approached by the St. Alexander CWL, Pelham Cares indicated that there are approximately 120 unhoused single women who could benefit from the donation of the following items:
shampoo/conditioner=travel size,
pkgs of body wipes,
Band-Aids,
toothpaste/toothbrush,
hairbrush/comb,
hand lotion=travel size,
Kleenex pouches,
bars of soap,
feminine hygiene products
These need to be collected by December 8 in the box in the narthex/foyer.
Your support is very much appreciated.
Warm-vember
Until November 30, the CWL will be collecting mitts/gloves, scarves, and hats for the Warm-vember event. Any and all donations would be appreciated; please place the items in the barrel in the narthex/foyer. Thank you for your generosity.

Special Guest Speaker
this Tuesday 9:45-11:30
Monthly CWL Meeting
This Tuesday our guest speaker will be Kathryn Willms. She will be sharing her experience walking the Camino in Spain!
The Camino is as much a cultural journey as it is a spiritual one. It is a route that stretches over 500 miles over hilly terrain and typically takes a seasoned hiker 35 days to complete! We can't wait to hear her share her story. More on the Camino in our post, link is All CWL Updates, the button below this section.
Father Paul will also make a brief presentation as well.

YAY! We did it!
