Card Parties, Salad Luncheons, Chocolate Sundays, Fashion Shows, Capitol Days at the Capital (yearly trips to Tallahassee to meet with our representatives), Conventions, Conferences, Days of Reflection, Council Enrichment and Development Days, Evening Circle! Through all of the above the St. Helen Council of Catholic Women acts through its membership to support, empower, and educate all Catholic women. As CCW members we are also members of the PBDCCW (Palm Beach Diocese Council of Catholic Women), the FCCW (Florida Council of Catholic Women) , the NCCW (National Council of Catholic Women), and WUCWO (World Union of Catholic Women's Organization).
As the Council of Catholic Women, we see, through direct and measurable results, that collectively we have a powerful voice and we are making a difference. Come see what St. Helen CCW has for you. Membership is open to all Catholic women and archdiocesan/diocesan, district, deanery, and parish women's groups.
There are two kinds of membership:
Affiliation Members: Catholic women belonging to an affiliation with a parish, who support the mission statement of the NCCW. Yearly dues are $10.00.
Individual Members: NCCW speaks for hundreds of thousands of women through its councils. Join us and be counted! Individual members now have voting privileges at NCCW conventions as long as they are paid members in good standing for the 20 months prior to convention. Individual members receive the bimonthly Catholic Woman magazine as well as the Legislative Update and announcements about new programs and resources. Individual membership is $25.00 a yr.
