Who we are...

The National Council of Catholic Women consists of more than 5,000 affiliated Catholic women's organizations in parishes and dioceses throughout the U.S., representing hundreds of thousands of Catholic women across the country.

It was founded in 1920 at the request of the United States Catholic bishops who, having witnessed the work accomplished by the many separate Catholic women's groups during World War I, urged them to unite their efforts by forming a national organization.
