Who We Are

The Austin Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (Austin DCCW) consists of affiliated women's organizations in parishes throughout the diocese of Austin, Texas. We hold membership in the National Council of Catholic Women and are recognized by the United States Conference of Bishops (USCCB).

It is the goal of our council to enrich and evangelize the lives of our members through Christian works wherever we go and to extend the love of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to our brothers and sisters.

We do this through three commissions:
spirituality, service and leadership.
