Welcome to the Central Deanery Council of Catholic Women! We are composed of 14 affiliations in three different counties – Orange, Osceola and Seminole. The list of these affiliations and their contact information are listed below. Let me tell you a little more about us.
We are one of five deaneries of the Orlando Diocesan Council of Catholic Women. The ODCCW is one of seven Dioceses in the Florida Council of Catholic Women (FCCW) which is part of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW). By joining an affiliation, you become a part of the NCCW as well!
The National Council of Catholic Women was founded in 1920 under the auspices of the U.S. Catholic bishops. This gave women a unified voice, a national service program and the ability to reach out to each other through a national Catholic lay organization.
We follow our mission statement very closely and I know you will grow in grace with your sisters in Christ in the Council of Catholic Women. If you are not a member, we would love for you to join us! Please feel free contact me!
God Bless!
Miriam Velo, President
