Conventions

Thunder Bay • July 5–8, 2026

Welcome, CWL Sisters, Future CWL members and Spiritual Advisors! We’re so glad you’re here. This year, CWL members from across Ontario will gather in beautiful Thunder Bay for four days of faith, friendship, and renewal—an experience shaped by our national theme: Ignite Your Passion, Empower His Mission.

This convention is your chance to reconnect with the heart of the League, be inspired by powerful speakers, share in meaningful liturgies, and feel the JOY of being surrounded by women who lift one another up. It’s a celebration of sisterhood, a space to grow, and a moment to let the Spirit rekindle the fire within you. And yes—expect those warm CWL hugs that make every gathering feel like home.  

Inside this Convention Package, you’ll find everything you need to plan your journey. We can’t wait to welcome you to Thunder Bay and experience this unforgettable time together.  Click here for the registration package:  👉 2026 OPC CONVENTION PKG (F1)
