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.

We were so delighted to sit down with Betty — or Liberina, as she’s officially known — on the podcast. Born in Dryden, Ontario, and raised in Niagara-on-the-Lake, she often says that joining the Catholic Women’s League in 1986 changed her life, setting her on a nearly 40-year journey of faith, service, and sisterhood. From serving as parish and diocesan chairperson to provincial president and now national president, Betty has inspired women across Canada, all while running her family vineyard and winery, sharing her creativity, and living a life rooted in community, leadership, and joy.
