National Council of Catholic Women
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, November 12, 2010 1:00 PM
Today’s post comes to you from our nation’s capital, where I have the pleasure of joining my good friend Jeff Young in speaking for the annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women. It’s been such a joy to be in a hotel filled to the brim with amazing Catholic ladies, here to be encouraged in the important work they do in their home dioceses to support Catholic women. A bit about the NCCW from their website:
The National Council of Catholic Women consists of more than 4,000 affiliated Catholic women’s organizations in parishes and dioceses throughout the U.S., representing hundreds of thousands of Catholic women, and almost 4,000 individual Catholic women.
* We are Catholic women who hold Individual Membership with NCCW.
* The NCCW is a member of the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations (WUCWO).
* We are recognized by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
* We are active participants in partnerships with other Catholic groups.Mission Statement: The National Council of Catholic Women acts through its members 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.
I’m wondering if any of you are members of the NCCW and if so how involved you are in your diocese. I don’t believe we have it in my home diocese, so I’m interested in learning more today about how I might bring this resource to my faith sisters back home. Please say a prayer for our talk and for all of the women gathered here this weekend. What a blessing they are for our Church in the United States.
