CWL Bursary 2026

Deadline: June 2, 2026


The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is a national organization with over 70,000 members that calls its members to grow in faith, and to witness to the love of God through ministry and service. The core values of the organization are FAITH, SERVICE, and SOCIAL JUSTICE.


But first and foremost, the CWL is a sisterhood of women who want to pray, sing , worship God together, to laugh and support each other in our faith, and ultimately to effect change in our community and our country. Though the national organization was founded in 1920, the St. John Vianney CWL Parish League has been in existence for over 60 years and boasts members from age 18 to 98.


We support our parish and our community, as well as organizations throughout the province, our country and the world at large. As part of our effort

to support our youth and education, this year we are able to offer four bursaries to Grade 12 graduates going on to post-secondary education, who are active members of Holy Trinity Parish and who attend and participate regularly in their parish.


Applications for the 2026 bursary program will be available on April 14 and must be submitted no later than June 2 to be considered.


  • Applicants must be first-time graduates of Grade 12 in 2026, with acceptance to a post-secondary school.

  • Applicants MUST be active members of Holy Trinity Parish, attending and participating regularly, to be considered for this $500 one-time bursary.
