ACCW ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS 2011 - 2013
90TH ANNIVERSARY OF NCCW
Whereas, The National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) was founded on March 4, 1920, “... to give Catholic women of the country a common voice and an instrument for united action ... and to ensure proper representation on national committees and movements affecting religious and moral well-being ... and to stimulate the work of existing Catholic women’s organizations to greater service and usefulness in meeting the needs of our times” (NCCW: The First 75 Years, Ruth L. O’Halloran); and Whereas, NCCW has continued to carry this vision forth in its work; Resolved, That in celebration of the 90th anniversary of NCCW’s founding, the St. Paul & Minneapolis Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (ACCW) encourage its membership to renew their commitment to NCCW’s Mission Statement: The National Council of Catholic Women acts through its members to support, empower and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service. NCCW programs respond with Gospel values to the needs of the Church and society in the modern world. Click to view or download all Resolutions
REORGANIZATION OF ARCHDIOCESE (Church Commission)
Whereas, We are one Body in Christ and can worship Him in any Catholic Church; and Whereas, We are called to be fiscally responsible; Resolved, That the Council of Catholic Women will continue to pray for unity and understanding during this process of reorganization in the Archdiocese; and Resolved, That CCW women will be positive peacemakers in this time of transition, will be considerate of others’ feelings and points of view during dialogue, and will strive to build strong CCWs as they welcome additional members during the merging process.
