The CWL is a volunteer based organization that depends on the service of many women. We have volunteer opportunities that suit a variety of skills and time commitments.
There is no better exercise for your heart, than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.

40 days for life
On Wednesday, Sept. 26 up until Sunday Nov. 4, 40 Days for Life runs the largest campaign ever in 426 cities around the world, in praying, fasting and participating in vigils in front of abortion facilities. There is enough proof that these campaigns work with more than 14,000 babies saved and almost 100 facilities closed. We as Catholics have the responsibility to insist on respect for the dignity of every human being and the sanctity of every human life. For more information call 403-870-3905 or go to https://40daysforlife.com/ local campaigns/Calgary/ or email 40daysforlife.calgary@gmail.com
