• NATIONAL BURSARY FUND:  The national bursary program was established following Pope John Paul II’s Exhortation  “Christifideles Laici” (Role of the Laity,) in 1988.  It provides up to $1000 for members who wish to pursue studies in areas such as spiritual growth/formation, various ministries, parliamentary procedure, etc.  Click the "National Bursary Fund" for the application form and go the National Catholic Woman's League webpage under Resources for more information.  From the City of Calgary Recreation Calendar to the University of Calgary, there is no shortage of institutions offering continuing education opportunities ranging from personal interest, evening presentations, to full accreditation programs and credit courses – see Catholic Educational Opportunities Calgary and Educational Opportunities Calgary.
