As we begin a New Year may the Holy Spirit guide and inspire you to serve Him with your
many talents. God Bless.
A Message from the Presidents – Kim Deans and Marla Tanuan
Happy New Year, Sisters in the League! We are looking forward to our new term as Co-
Presidents of the St. Joseph’s CWL and we’re very excited about working with this new
executive. We all had so much fun at the 65thAnniversary Celebration of our Council.
Let’s start on the next 65 years.
Marla is a 6 year member of the CWL and has been serving as its Treasurer for the past 4
years. She has been a parishioner of St. Joseph's Church for almost 19 years and serves as a
Lector and Sunday School teacher. Her other volunteer work involves teaching Catechism
and the Rosary to children and she holds the Treasurer position for 3 other non-profit
organizations. Although she is a cradle Catholic and was educated by the Dominicans while
growing up in the Philippines, she did not fully understand her faith until she heard God's call
at mid-life and came to a fuller understanding of God's purpose for her. Now, she fully serves
with joy, embracing both blessings and sacrifices that God puts before her.
Kim converted to Catholicism here at St. Joseph’s in 2000 when her oldest son was a baby
and she was pregnant with her youngest. She has been a lector and she ran the two Bowling
events for the Parish. Her most recent position in the CWL was Christian Family Life Chair.
She works in Product Management at TELUS and she hopes to bring some of that
communications expertise to the CWL in her term as co-president.
We are both excited about the new mission statement from the National League:
"The Catholic Women’s League of Canada calls its members to grow in faith, and to
witness to the love of God through ministry and service."
As co-presidents, we are looking to bring our members on an exciting spiritual journey that
would help us grow in our faith, meeting the Lord at every Mass, spending time with Him
in the Blessed Sacrament, talking with and listening to Him in our prayer time, saying sorry
to Him in the sacrament of reconciliation and to even looking forward to the day when we
will dwell with Him in His everlasting kingdom.
We will bring a renewed emphasis on the spiritual goals of the CWL, to get to know the
Church He built and be on fire in your faith; to know God, love God and serve God. It is in
first knowing Him and loving Him that we learn to serve with joy. As Saint Teresa of Calcutta
said: “We are called to be faithful, not successful”. As a first step, we will be having a Day
of Recollection on Saturday, January 19th right after the 9:00 morning Mass. We hope that
you can all join us for this opportunity to renew us in our spiritual journey.

A Message from Spiritual Development – Patricia Hall
My name is Patricia Hall and I am honored to be the new Spiritual Development Chair. I have been married for 36 years
and have been blessed with 2 girls. I have been attending St. Joseph Parish for approximately 20 years. My first
involvement with St. Joseph's Parish began when I became a member of the Prayer Group. I then attended the Life in the
Spirit Seminar and it was life changing. The following year I attended the Life in the Spirit 2 Seminar where I assisted
others in their own personal faith journey. Soon after I began serving as Eucharistic Minister and a few years later I
became a Lector.
As Spiritual Development Chair my prayer is that through the intersession of the Holy Spirit' we will be filled with
divine faith, wisdom and insight as we journey together for next 2 years.

Hi everyone, my name is Cheryl Mascarenhas and I’m happy to be a part of CWL as the Education and Health Chair. I
am passionate about the education and have worked in the field for almost 30 years. Ever since I was in university, I
have enjoyed being involved in church activities like Sunday School, being a lector, and being a part the parish council.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the CWL for the past two years and am sure that we will have an excellent
year ahead. I am excited to be Chair of Education & Health and to play a part in the care of our common home; and

A Message from Christian Family Life – Nancy Jane Martineau
Greetings sisters in the league
It is a great honour and privilege to serve on the executive once again. God has called me to share my gifts in the position
of Christian Family Life. Under the umbrella of Christian Family Life is Sanctity of Life which I hold near and dear to
my heart as I am adopted as well as my children. It also focuses on the Ministry of the Youth and Disabled. Both Jean
Vanier and Henri Nouwen had a tremendous influence on my husband and myself and were the driving force in our
adoption of our 3 daughters. My employment history for the past 38 years has been working in the school board with
individuals who have been diagnosed with special needs. This position has brought me enormous joy watching the
student’s progress to their potential. Seniors, Widowed, Separated and Divorced are other areas included in the Christian
Family Life Portfolio as well as Vocations.
As we reflect on the months of January & February let us remember the many individuals who struggle with loneliness
they are more isolated in the snowy dark months. Take the time to call a friend or better yet go for a visit.
Monday, February 11th is Family Day! Plan something exciting to do together. Build those special memories.
Also, on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019 it will be the 29th Annual Ordinandi Dinner. The Ordinandi Dinner is a dinner to hear
the vocation stories of transitional deacons who will be ordained to the Priesthood this year. At the Ordinandi the CWL
offers a Spiritual Bonquet of prayers, masses, rosaries, stations of the cross, sacrifice etc… In the next few months we
will be collecting your spiritual offerings. Please be generous in supporting our Ordinandi with your prayers.

A Message from Treasurer- Clare Gotera
I am humbled that you have entrusted me with the position of treasurer. This makes my third time serving on the
executive; first as Communications chair and secondly as Secretary. Being a mother of four, my focus has been primarily
on my kids and in volunteering at my kids' school. I believe having a healthy parent-school relationship is vital in a child's
education. I am currently a stay at home mom, but previously worked in non-profit. I have served on the parent council
at Cardinal Leger and on the board of directors at a private high school. I grew up "in the missions" as my parents were
and still are missionaries and members of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, as am I. As mentioned, I
have four boys and my husband, Jason, is the choir director of the 11 am choir.
With a few more Apple Pies to sell, we were able to generate $8,108 in Gross Revenues at our recent Annual Fall
Bazaar, held on November 17, 2018. The following is the breakdown of Revenues generated by each table.
Bake Table 1,344.25 Raffles 615.00
Caribbean Table 600.00 Tea Room 579.00
Indian Table 177.00 Treasure Table 1,463.75
Philippine Table 442.00 Vendors 355.00
Apple Pies 2,521.00 Ticket Sales 11.00
We are very grateful to all the people who have given their time, talents and treasures that contributed to the success of
this event. May God's blessings remain with you forever.
A Message from Secretary –Tina Tolpa
Dear Sisters in the League, I would like to express my appreciation for your support and nomination for the position of
Secretary in the St Joseph Highland Creek Council, and also to all of you fellow volunteers who came to the elections
meeting and accepted nominations for the upcoming 2 years.
The position of Secretary is a key role in the organization, helping the president with meeting agendas, discussing
incoming correspondence at meetings and also preparation of minutes of meeting for the general and executive meetings.
I look forward to sharing with you our prayers, our social activities and our community activities in the coming two years.
I hope to be an integral part of bringing you news of both the St Joseph Highland Creek triumphs and our ties to the

A Message from Past President/Historian – Lucia Vacca
We moved to Highland Creek in 1986 and became parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church.
After ten years of attending St. Joe’s I was asked to join the CWL and so I did. Since then I have been a very active
member and it has been a blessing in my life to be able to contribute to the League with my God given gifts. Served the
League at St. Joseph’s Parish as President Elect/Organization Standing Committee Chair from 2005-2006, President from
2007-2008, Past-President from 2009-2010 and again President 2017-2018 and now continue to be Past President from
2019-2020.
I was appointed by the Toronto Diocesan President to serve as Scarborough Regional Chair from 2009-2011 and Past
Regional Chair 2011-2013. At the Toronto Diocesan Council was elected to the positions of Corresponding Secretary
2011-2013, Spiritual Development Chair 2013-2015 and Communications Chair 2015-2017 and Newsletter Editor from
2017-2019. Even as busy as this, continued to be active in my home council of St. Joseph’s organizing several events
and activities over the years attending all meetings.
Participated in creating and facilitating the workshop on the On-line Membership Administration and is the sub-convener
for the On-Line Membership for the Organization Chair of TDC. I have had the opportunity to be one of the facilitators

success of this Council. I am committed to serve the League and building friendships within the Parish, Region, Toronto
as well as the many sisters I have met in the League across the country.
Congratulations to the new executives who will serve for the next two year term. God Bless. Lucia
