Dear Sisters in the League and Spiritual Advisors,
As we gather in the spirit of Thanksgiving, my heart overflows with gratitude for each and every
one of you — the dedicated members, spiritual advisors, diocesan officers, and regional teams,
who continue to inspire and uplift through your tireless service and faith-filled leadership.
This Fall, we witnessed a truly outstanding series of Regional Meetings across our Diocese, and
according to our evaluations, very successful, inspiriting, education, and enjoyable meetings.
Each gathering was filled with joy, energy, and renewal. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who
participated, to our Hosting Councils and Regional Teams who worked so diligently in planning
and welcoming us, and to our Spiritual Advisors whose presence and prayers remind us that
Christ is always at the centre of our League journey. Your contributions made each meeting a
meaningful experience of learning, connection, and sisterhood.
As we celebrate this season of harvest, may we take a moment to reflect on the many blessings
that God has sown among us — the fruits of our labour, the friendships that flourish, and the
continued growth of our League family. I am profoundly grateful for the wonderful work our
members do every day for God and for Canada, in parishes, communities, and beyond.
Together, we are truly making a difference.
Let us continue to Sparkle God’s Way as Beacons of Hope and Light to Everyone We Meet,
carrying the warmth of faith, the beauty of love, and the radiance of God’s grace into
everything we do. May this Thanksgiving fill your hearts and homes with peace, joy, and
gratitude, and may God’s blessings surround you and your loved ones always.
With harvest blessings of renewal, beauty, and grace,
Teresa
