The Chicago Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women is an affiliate organization of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW).

It supplies suggestions for action, in a variety of ways, in areas of concern to the church and community.  Members are offered opportunity to dialogue with others, and to further their personal development through educational and spiritual programs, ecumenical events, workshops and special interest meetings.

ACCW offers practical programming and organizational materials that can help establish a foundation of a truly Christian community within a given group so women of like mind and heart can work together to achieve meaningful group goals.

We provide assistance to educate and empower women in Spirituality, Leadership and Service, who together with their Bishops and clergy, work to bring the influence of the church to life in all spheres of secular life:  in their own community, their state, their nation and the world.

You will be able to access up-to-date information about the Chicago Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (ACCW).

Our organization has been a resource for all Catholic women’s groups in the Archdiocese of Chicago since 1931. We are "Celebrating 80 Years of Service" in 2011.
