Whatever your Catholic interests –– ACCW offers a broad spectrum
of opportunities in the areas of:

Education (to grow and to be informed)
Spirituality (to deepen my faith)
Advocacy (to raise your voice, joined with others)        
Networking (meet other Catholic women)


Representation/Information: On the Archdiocesan level and the
local level – ACCW members attend Deanery meetings and
workshops that address issues that are most important to Catholic
women of faith and action.  

Get Involved or just stay informed – There’s value in both to you as
an individual Catholic woman and to your Deanery and Parish
because there is strength in numbers. Regardless if you have
aspirations of great involvement or you pay your dues so you can stay
informed – you know that you can count yourself among those Catholic
women who have a voice in support of our church and what it stands
for in the world - advocating for peace, justice, compassion and a
culture of life.

You will be exposed to opportunities firsthand from your Archdiocesan
organization to grow spiritually and enrich your Catholic faith; you will
have opportunities to deepen your understanding of Catholic Social
Teaching and what those teachings mean in a woman’s life.

Get involved. Stay informed. Either way it is vitally important to
Join Us – and—Make a Difference
