About Us
A visible presence for Christ in military communities.
The Military Council of Catholic Women-Worldwide connects, unites, and inspires U.S. military-affiliated women to grow in their faith. As a non-profit subsidiary of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), MCCW works with military chapels across the globe, and at nearly 220 U.S. military installations, to form women in spirituality, leadership and service.
MCCW provides a unique network for Catholic military women. We provide leader development and faith formation through speakers, retreats, and online resources. We are also hosting a worldwide forum in San Antonio in 2020, where women will gather to be inspired by Catholic speakers, and participate in spiritual development and practical workshops that meet the unique needs of women affiliated with the military. If you are new to the military or have recently PCSed (that’s military talk for moved!), please reach out to your regional coordinator to link up with MCCW in your area.
