This could be used as a template to make placemats for events at your parish/cluster to let people know of the benefits of ACCW/NCCW.


 

The Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (ACCW) supports, empowers and educates Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service. ACCW programs respond with Gospel values to the needs of the Church and society in the modern world. Their goals align with the Archdiocesan Mission Priorities.

The Dubuque Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (ACCW) is part of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), founded by the U.S. Bishops in 1920. The Bishops desired to unite all Catholic women’s groups to work together in service to the Church. Today NCCW consists of more than 3,000 affiliated Catholic women’s organizations in parishes and dioceses throughout the U.S. We represent hundreds of thousands of Catholic women. We are under the patronage of Our Lady of Good Counsel.

The 2024 ACCW Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Marshalltown at the St. Henry Church. This year's theme is "Called to an Encounter with Jesus," Fr. Alan Dietzenbach, Pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish will be the keynote speaker. Archbishop Thomas Zinkula will be the main celebrant for the Mass.

The 2023 ACCW Annual Meeting was held on Saturday, October 21, 2023 at St. Edward Parish in Waterloo. The keynote speaker for the 2023 ACCW Annual Meeting was Fr. Joseph Sevcik. His talk "The Eucharistic Revival – Four Invitations" was inspiring! You can watch the recording below.

The Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women will once again sponsor the 2024  Archdiocesan of Women's Conference Beauty in Christ "Reviving Our Hearts!" 

This year’s speakers, Mari Pablo and our own Mary Pedersen, will spark a desire for reviving our hearts through the Eucharistic Revival. Mari and Mary will inspire us to give our entire “YES” to Jesus in the Eucharist!

Plan now to attend the 2024 Beauty in Christ at a parish/cluster near you or virtually! Don't forget to invite your friends to attend this conference!
