Council of Catholic Women

The Saints Peter & Paul Council of Catholic Women is a service organization affiliated with the Orlando Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, (ODCCW), the Florida Council of Catholic Women, (FCCW), and the National Council of Catholic Women, (NCCW).

As a member of the Council of Catholic Women, you receive the grace of prayers that members all over the world say for one another.

You become a link with one of the strongest women's groups in the world, and the only Catholic lay women's organization recognized by the Bishops.

As Catholic women, we share a common ground of faith and our moral value of God and our Catholic Church.

To be part of the Council “voice” within the United Nations where we can hope to “make a difference” globally.

To enjoy the benefit of programs and workshops presented not only locally, but at the national Council gatherings addressing areas of interest that involve family, church, community, and international concerns for women and children.
