About CCW
The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) is an integral, important, and vital part of the St. Patrick Catholic Church community.  The council is representative of women active in spiritual, charitable, and social parish work.  St. Patrick CCW is part of the power and force that gives action to the St. Augustine Diocesan Council and National Council of Catholic Women.

The National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), located in Arlington, Virginia, was founded in 1920 at the request of the United States Bishops. The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) strives to support, empower, and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, service, and leadership. We are women of one faith and action, sisters of Christ and daughters of the Church, of all ages and from all walks of life. We are united by a shared faith in Christ and love of the Church, a longing to grow closer to Christ in prayer and sacrament, and a desire to make Christ’s merciful love visible in our community and in the world.

The Diocesan and National Council are actually a means of representing and uniting women who are active in parish work.  Both councils help women work more efficiently while applying the principles of Catholic teaching to existing problems.
