MCCW Offers Opportunities to Come Together in Prayer, Worship, Fellowship, and Service
Worldwide Forum
Every two years, MCCW hosts our Worldwide Forum, which is an opportunity for Catholic military women to come together to CONNECT, UNITE, and INSPIRE (and be inspired) in their shared experiences of their Catholic faith and military lifestyle vocations.
This time together also affords women from all the various chapel groups in attendance the chance to network and build relationships with other faith communities. This enhanced bond encourages authentic sharing and learning from their own successes and challenges in delivering and building vibrant Catholic women’s ministries. Forum is the perfect venue for MCCW to continue building on our core values of development, discipleship, and discernment. The location of Forum rotates every time to allow our CONUS regions to showcase the Catholic-friendly highlights of their region. The theme for each Forum also changes to draw inspiration from sacred scripture as we plan and come together, united as sisters in Christ.
Our last Worldwide Forum was held in April 2024 in in beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio.

Regional Retreats
On the years that we do not host Worldwide Forum, MCCW regions bring Catholic military women together in an effort to provide spiritual respite, camaraderie, and faith-based encouragement.
Our CONUS and Pacific regions host their retreats in the spring of off-cycle Forum years, with our Asian and European regions hosting theirs in the fall after Forum. This is timed to ensure that our MCCW sisters in Christ are able to attend Worldwide Forum and Regional Retreats, without having to choose one over the other.
Just like Worldwide Forum, each Regional Retreat is guided by a theme. For 2024/2025, we invite our Catholic military women to enter into the Scripture verse, John 2:5, heeding the words of our Blessed Mother, “Do whatever He tells you.”
