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 (founded in 1920 by U.S. Catholic Bishops) 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.

Resources, prayers, programs to enhance members' spirituality, leadership and service, advocacy for Catholic values at diocesan, province, national and international levels, leadership training

We are "The Voice of Catholic Women in Central Texas"
