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.
