Trained leaders in each diocese began taking the program to all of Canada in the fall of 2012. At the convention, Betty Brown, National Organization Chair, urged all women to “rekindle the gift of God that is within you…” (2 Tim 1.6) “Catch The Fire!” workshops were recently held in Regina at St. Martin’s Parish and Holy Trinity Parish. Presenters were Yvonne Bachelu of St. Martin’s Parish and Marge Appell, Diocesan President Elect and member of St. Cecilia’s Parish. Yvonne Bachelu stated that “the objective of the workshop is to excite members to take on leadership roles and to teach members about what the CWL is and what it does on an executive level. It is also to invite non-members and hopefully have them become members.” All “Catch the Fire!” workshops are presented in modules, with each module based on "fire" such as “kindling, spark, etc.” Each module teaches a different part or aspect of the league. Yvonne said she felt the workshops were effective judging from the very positive feedback they received at the end of each session. Diana Robstad, a new member from Resurrection Parish thought the workshop was “fantastic” and felt the information she received was very valuable. She appreciated the opportunity for sharing with experienced CWL members, saying that it gave her and others the chance to see the “big picture” and made her proud to be a member of this great league of women in Canada. She felt energized to go back to her council and enlist all members to recruit new members. Muriel Drew, Past President of Christ the King CWL and Past President of Diocesan Council, said she found the day very enriching. She said the workshop reaffirmed the reasons why she is a CWL member. She felt there was an energy to the day, the same energy and enthusiasm that led her to take on leadership roles in CWL over the years. “Catch the Fire!” will be followed next year with a more in-depth workshop called “S’mores”.

And this renewal continues. New and exciting innovations will be presented at the conference, shared by parishes throughout North America, and now, in many other parts of the world. The 2013 conference has three main focuses. The first is to rekindle and revitalize our role in the Church’s universal call to holiness. Secondly, to provide parishes and dioceses with a good understanding of Stewardship as a Way of Life and the many ways in which it has been successfully applied in the building of God’s Kingdom. The final focus is to provide the participants with ideas and tools that they can bring home. The organizing committee feels so strongly about the importance of parish involvement that it has structured the registration fees to decrease with each additional representative from a parish.
