Council of Catholic Women

Mission Statement: The Council of Catholic Women of Saint John Paul II acts through its membership to support, empower, and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership, and service. CCW programs respond with Gospel values to the needs of the Church, the local community, and society in the modern world. Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, is our patroness.

All women of St. John Paul II are members of CCW; each member is encouraged to participate in any way they are able. Annual dues are $10 which help us to accomplish our mission throughout the year.
