Mission

The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) acts through its membership to support, empower and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service. The CCW at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church is part of the National Council of Catholic Women, an organization of more than 5,000 affiliated Catholic women’s organizations in parishes and dioceses throughout the U.S., representing hundreds of thousands of Catholic women. The CCW responds with Gospel values to the needs of the Church and society in the modern world by:
 
 • Transforming the world through prayer and action
 • Uniting Catholic women throughout the United States
 • Training Catholic women to become leaders
 • Providing a forum for Catholic women to speak and act on matters of mutual interest

Activities

At Saint John, the CCW is involved in many church and community activities.. Some of our recent activities include:

	Providing altar and baptismal supplies
	Funding, preparing and serving funeral luncheons/dinners
	Setting up and serving receptions for church functions (e.g. welcome receptions for new priests, farewell receptions for departing priests, etc.)
	Helping to sponsor a seminarian
	Providing workers for a community kitchen
	Hosting the 2005 Archdiocese of Denver CCW Convention

A new initiative for the CCW has been to support the youth of the church. Ten percent of our fund raising profits are set aside for this initiative. In the past two years, we have been able to give substantial donations to two worthy young people in the parish.
