Council of Catholic Women

As an affiliate branch of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) and Orlando Diocesean Council of Catholic Woman (ODCCW), our purpose is to offer support, education, inspiration, and empowerment to the women of our parish, and to encourage them in their spiritual growth, leadership, and service to our community.

Winkie Le Fils, a member of our branch for 60 years, says of her work with us, “I researched the resolutions we’ve written on the national level from 1920 to now and we are still working on the same human life issues of dignity and respect. In 1981, we passed a resolution after much division and discussion against chemical, germ and nuclear warfare and it’s happening today… we, as Catholic women, are still standing on the front lines for human rights.”

Originally part of the St. Augustine Diocese, the All Souls CCW is now one of 33 branches in the ODCCW, and has been with the Orlando Diocese since its inception. Speaking about the ODCCW, Bishop John Noonan reflected, “Catholic women have been a part of the history of our diocese for 50 years and continue to support and help us. We are blessed to have them and we are blessed that they have left such a wonderful legacy to the future generations.”
