PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNCIL
God of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor.
Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed prence in the life to come
O Mother of Good Counsel, patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous and loving leaders of the Church. Help us dear Mother to know the mind of Jesus, your son.
May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation and compassion for all God’s children. May our labor of love on earth enhance the reign of God and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.
AMEN
Welcoming All Women of the Parish
All women of the parish are encouraged and warmly invited to attend the Council of Catholic Women (CCW) meetings, held on the third Saturday of each month from September through May. Each gathering begins with a continental breakfast at 8:30 AM, generously provided by volunteer hostesses, offering a time for fellowship and conversation before the meeting begins at 9:00 AM. Most meetings last about one hour. All women of the parish are already considered part of this council. We invite you to join us in friendship, prayer, and service.
Our Mission
To address and faithfully answer the needs of people in our parish family, may Our Lady of Good Counsel guide and keep us.
What Happens at Our Meetings
Each meeting begins and ends with prayer, including special intentions for members and loved ones with concerns.
Our meetings also include:
- The Pledge of Allegiance
- A reading of the day’s Gospel
- Fellowship and spiritual support
- Discussion of parish needs, projects, and upcoming events
The Council is led by four officers, each serving a four-year term.
The CCW maintains a budget and sponsors fundraisers throughout the year to help support parish needs, ministries, and special projects.
Join Us
The Council of Catholic Women is a beautiful way to grow in faith, build friendships, and serve our parish community together.
