Worldwide Regions
MCCW is available at every point on the compass.
MCCW is a worldwide organization serving the more than 220 US military installations around the globe. To better serve our membership, MCCW is divided into six geographical regions: Northeast, Southeast, Central, Western, Europe, and Pacific. Check out the map below to find out which region you are in:
Each region is led by a Regional Coordinator and Regional Board. These volunteers serve our Catholic priests and form women in the Catholic faith through retreats, days of reflections, online resources, and support for CWOCs.

The Central Regional retreat took place from February 16-19 at the Benedictine’s Conception Abbey in Missouri. We have a wonderful weekend exploring the theme of “Listen and Open Your Heart.” At this retreat, the ladies practiced lectio divina, the Examen, and participated in the prayers with the Benedictine monks. We have had Spirit-led growth in the Central Region over the last two year, and our retreat reflected the work of the Spirit by tripling the number of ladies who attended. While we don’t count sheep; we feed them, we are thankful for the fruit of being laborers in the vineyard in the central region. Our Central ladies also raised over $2600 for the Seminarian Fund during the retreat!

The Southeast region spans from North Carolina to Florida, and west until the Central Time zone. The Southeast Region is bringing a little Southern hospitality to their retreat, which is themed “Just Breathe.”
Just Breathe. If you are so busy with life that you barely have time to breathe, let alone pray and just be with God, this retreat is for you! While it will be packed with Mass, Adoration, Reconciliation, prayers, speakers and more, you will have the time you need to relax with God.
If you think your life is too busy to take time to retreat, then you need to Just Breathe with the Central Region.
Pacific
The Pacific Regional Coordinator is Jennifer Carter.

We recently held our Pacific Regional Retreat, Petals of Peace at the St. Anthony Retreat Center in Honolulu from April 6-9. We spent our time examining facets of peace, all coming from our Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace. As Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let is be fearful.” John 14:27. Attendees left behind the distractions of life for a time long enough to allow peace, and a conversion of heart that is critical to deepening one’s faith. They spent time in prayer, reflection, and meditation through Adoration, Confession, Daily Mass, Divine Mercy, Contemplative Prayer, Healing Service, Stations of the Cross, and Lectio Divina.
