We were delighted to welcome Betty Anne to the CWL Compass podcast for a conversation filled with heart, humour, and hard‑earned wisdom. Originally from Prince Edward County, Betty Anne often says that joining the Catholic Women’s League changed her life — and her decades of service reflect that transformation.

She has served as president at the parish, diocesan, provincial, and national levels, all while embracing her roles as a mother of five and grandmother of fourteen. Today, she continues to share her gifts through parish ministry, knitting, book clubs, and a deep commitment to community.

In this episode, Betty Anne reflects on leadership, faith, and the power of women supporting women. Her stories offer inspiration, encouragement, and a beautiful reminder of what it means to live a life of service.

We were excited to welcome Shari Guinta to the podcast. At the time of taping, Shari was the National President for the Catholic Women’s League of Canada and is now the National Past President. Originally from Nova Scotia and now living in Waterloo, Ontario, she has dedicated decades to the Catholic Women’s League, serving at every level from parish president to national president. A proud businesswoman, parish volunteer, and recipient of the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal, Shari brings wisdom, warmth, and a passion for connecting with people on faith, leadership, and service.

Bishop Campeau offers a moment of spiritual wisdom and encouragement in this short clip from The CWL Compass podcast.
