Council of Catholic Women

WHAT IS THE HOLY FAMILY COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN??

All women of the parish, confirmation age or above, are invited to join the Holy Family Council of the Catholic Women, which was formed in 1957, when 75 women of the parish came together to develop a service organization to grow the spiritual needs of the women of our parish, while supporting the physical needs of the parish.
For over the 66 years, we have adapted to the changing needs of the parish and CCW members by engaging speakers to inform our members of both spiritual and social issues relevant to our journey as Catholics through, Leadership, Spirituality, Service, and Fellowship. And of course, have fun fulfilling our mission.
How do we fulfill our mission?

• In our monthly meetings, on the second Saturday of each month, Sept – May, we have speakers, breakfast, 50/50 and fellowship.

• Annual Potluck Luncheon - all women of the parish are invited to attend to learn about CCW.
• Our annual Dove Sale for the remembrance of the deceased
• International Food Festival and Fall Family Event
• Christmas Fundraiser, that makes wonderful gifts.
• Our annual Christmas parties and Breakfast with Santa are wonderful family events to add the spirit of Christmas in your heart!
• Assist in decorating the church for Easter and Christmas
• Re-Gift Bingo in January
• Book Sale in February,
• Bake sale in March,
• Our Spring Luncheons are famous for fun and great door prizes! We have a new theme each year. This year it was the Roaring ‘20s and in 2024 it will be the 70’s.
• We host the receptions for members, clergy, and lay members of the parish to honor their service to our community. Communion and Confirmation receptions for the newest members of our faith.
• An annual Communion Breakfast for CCW members
• And we end the year with our delicious Father’s Day breakfast.

• Hands for Hati,
• St. Vincent DePaul
• A $1,000 scholarship to 8th graduating girl attending Catholic High
• Special service projects each year
• $9,000 to Father Frank special projects for the parish including painting of Diffley Hall.

Why should you join? You might already have participated in one of our events or fundraisers. You will grow in your Catholic faith in the company of women who enjoy sharing their talents for the benefit of our parish and the community through service projects and fundraisers. If you need community services hours, what better way to earn the hours than in the service of the Holy Family Community. Many times, we sit in the pews and think this is enough. Join CCW and learn how much more there is to experience and share with the Holy Family Community.

We invite all to journey with us as members of God’s Holy Family.

MONTHLY CCW MEETING:
10 AM in Diffley Hall, September through May unless otherwise noted.
Please see Church Bulletin for details.
