Mission Statement: 

The National Council of Catholic Women acts through its membership to support, empower and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service. NCCW programs respond with Gospel values to the needs of the Church and society in the modern world.

Membership

Every woman over the age of 18 in our parish can become a member of the CCW.  Annual dues are $5.00 (an envelope is provided for this membership). 

Affiliates are Catholic women's organizations at the archdiocesan/diocesan, parish, and district or deanery levels and national Catholic women's organizations who subscribe to the objectives of NCCW.  Catholic women's groups at the archdiocesan/diocesan, district, deanery, and parish levels and national organizations interested in affiliating with the NCCW should contact the national office for information about benefits, voting privileges, and dues.  Our parish pays national, diocesan, and state CCW dues.
