Sue has been a parishioner at St. John Chrysostom Parish in Newmarket since 1988. She is married to John and together raised four children. They are now grandparents to two little boys. They celebrated forty years of marriage in 2021.

Sue's journey in the CWL began in 2006 with a personal invitation from a member at her local council to help with a presentation to the local town council on a proposed water aquifer by-law. At the parish level, she held the positions of community life, resolutions, legislation and president. Her council has presented resolutions to provincial and national council and one of those resolutions is still active at the national level.

In 2013, after election to the diocesan council, Sue served as christian family life chair. Other positions held at the diocesan level were resolutions, education and health and president-elect/organization. Serving as organization chair during the COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges but the use of technology provided an opportunity to reach more parish councils, more often. The monthly virtual CWL Wednesday was offered to members with many popular topics.

While diocesan resolutions chair, Sue also served as sub-committee chair for the provincial legislation chair and helped work on the "Legislation Scavenger Hunt". As diocesan president-elect/organization chair Sue participated in the Year One Working Group (Reorganization) for the implementation of the Strategic Plan which resulted in the new structure of the League.

As Toronto Diocesan President, Sue and her executive helped councils lead though the changes coming as councils adjusted to the new format of the League. A significant endeavour was the Unity Outreach where a total of 75 councils were able to receive the presentation. This was additionally important as councils started to gather again after the COVID impacted schedule of meetings. The monthly president’s update provided councils with update information as well as the opportunity to share their success stories.

She is looking forward to her continued service to God and Canada.

Gabriella began her journey in the CWL when she would drive her mom to CWL meetings at St. Patrick, Wildfield, and would sit in on the meetings, with her children as she waited for her mother.   Listening to the members speak, and learning of the strength and determination of these ladies, sparked Gabriella’s interest and enthusiasm in becoming a member.  Gabriella’s first term on the Parish Council as Christian Family Life Chair (2014) was like coming home, as she had been part of this council family as an observer and now a member.

At the parish level, Gabriella, also held the offices of President Elect. President, and Past President/ Historian (2016-2023). She has loved every minute. Gabriella’s current role includes Education & Health, and she has a passion to work with her parish schools.
