Did the ladies of St. Augustine'smake the right decision in 1931?Today the Catholic Women's League is an organization of women who are listened to by all levels of Government. Resolutions prepared at the Provincial and Federal levels are presented to the Governments by representatives of the CWL. This is a unique privilege enjoyed by few women's groups. Over the years many women from St. Augustine's have served on the executive of the Diocesan, provincial and national CWL Councils. At the present time Jacqueline De Corby and Albertine Moran are on the Diocesan Council. Dolores Blanchard, Albertine Moran and Suzanne Kiazyk are on the Provincial Council, and Suzanne Kiazyk is serving on the National Council. There are 3 members who are CWL Life Members. These women are members of the National Council who have served as president at the local and diocesan and/or provincial level. Becoming a Life Member is a call to further service not a reward for long term service. These 3 ladies are Dolores Blanchard, Bea Gross and Suzanne Kiazyk. 90 years of committment to the service of the church is proof that the St. Augustine's women made the right decision. Today the St. Augustine's CWL is a strong body of women working to better the lives of the people at St. Augustine's, in Brandon, in Manitoba and in Canada.
HAPPY 90th Anniversary
