YOU Can Make A Difference!!!

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

How to Help our Brothers
and Sisters in Haiti

The Catholic community in the
United States is reaching out to
our brothers and sisters in Haiti
in significant and immediate
ways. Catholic Relief Services
(CRS), the official international
humanitarian agency of the U.S.
Catholic Church, is mounting a
major emergency response to
this disaster and has made an
initial commitment of 5 million
dollars for immediate use in the
relief effort.  

Please keep those who are
suffering in your prayers.

To donate, please call
1-877-HELP-CRS, donate
online at www.crs.org or send a
check to CRS/Archdiocese of
Seattle, 710 9th Ave, Seattle
WA 98104 (on the memo line,
please write: Haiti Earthquake).
Thank you.
Pope Benedict XVI Message for Lent 2010
by Pope Benedict XVI

“The justice of God has been manifested through faith in Jesus
Christ” (cf. Rm 3, 21-22)
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Each year, on the occasion of Lent, the Church invites us to a
sincere review of our life in light of the teachings of the Gospel. This
year, I would like to offer you some reflections on the great theme of
justice, beginning from the Pauline affirmation: “The justice of God
has been manifested through faith in Jesus Christ” (cf. Rm 3, 21-22).

Justice: “dare cuique suum”
