June 14-16 was a great time of sharing Yukon hospitality as members of the British Columbia/Yukon Council of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada, gathered in the Diocese of Whitehorse, Yukon, for their provincial convention.
Holding the event in Whitehorse diocese provided a welcome opportunity to renew ties because the CWL has such a strong connection to Catholic Missions In Canada, our biggest supporter of missionary work.
Moreover, it was a blessed time to be in Canada’s most North/Westerly diocese, where Catholic Missions In Canada is such vital part of keeping the light of Christ alive in the vast Yukon Territory and Northern British Columbia.
