Catholic Women League
Members are active in social justice matters both locally and nationally. We support our Bioethics and Social Responsibility Convenors and are involved in inter-church activities. We foster a strong commitment to our Catholic Faith and although we are not a fundraising organisation, we financially support worthy charities in times of need.
CWLA is dedicated to building a culture of life; advocating for the respect of human rights with a particular focus on women and children; promoting the teaching of Christ and his Church concerning the dignity, integrity and freedom of the human person; promoting and supporting the formation of women to meet contemporary challenges; upholding the dignity of women through education and encouraging their participation in social and public life; promoting and supporting the duty of Catholic women to be educated in the teachings and traditions of the Church; promoting the role of lay women in the mission of the Church; and enabling women to participate more effectively in working for and building the Kingdom of God on earth.
CWLA also liaises with other organisations and faith communities in a creating awareness about social justice and ethical issues. We foster ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue.
We promote and support vocations to the priesthood, religious life and single life as well as to Christian marriage and family.
