Council of Catholic Women (CCW)

Dear Ladies of Our Lady of the Prairie Church:

Greetings to you from the president of the Council of Catholic Women (CCW)!  The CCW is a vital part of the parish’s support network. All registered women of Our Lady of the Prairie are members of the CCW. Our mission is to unite the women of the parish more closely in the family of Christ through a program of prayer, study and good works. We also care for the altar and sanctuary. It is through the membership dues and our fundraising events that we are able to fulfill our mission.

Our 2020-2021 Five Goals:

*Funerals/Altar/Prayer
*Donate to Southwest Deanery and ACCW Events

*Fundraisers for other groups (Community/Our Lady of Peace Home/MCCL)
*Help Liturgy Committee with receptions, flowers and donut Sundays
*Give back to the PREP and School Programs
