Council of Catholic Women

Council of Catholic Women of Our Lady of the Lake would like to thank everyone who supported our Spring Fling Ticket Drop fundraiser on May 25.Thanks to all the participating parishioners, we were able to raise a total of $1992.00. This money will fund the two $1000.00 scholarships for our graduating seniors.  Remaining funds will be designated for future parish needs.

Congratulations to Rebecca Boehm and Ariauna Salvaggio-Lazarin, this year's scholarship recipients!

We raised these funds in loving memory of our past members and with these scholarships empower student recipients to achieve higher education toward a fulfilled adulthood.

Originally established in 1977 as the “Women’s Guild,” the Council of Catholic Women at Our Lady of the Lake Church became affiliated with the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), the Dallas Deanery Council of Catholic Women (DDCCW), and the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) in 1993.  Throughout these many years the objectives of the group have remained constant:

• To promote the spiritual growth of the membership with an awareness of Christ as the center of life;
• To facilitate personal and social enrichment;
• To provide service to the parish and to the community.

The Council of Catholic Women welcomes ALL WOMEN OF THE PARISH to become members! We meet monthly, August–May, in the Holy Family Center at 6:30 PM, generally on the 4th Thursday of the month. Annual dues are $10.

As an organization we participate in special events, fundraising, and as needed to support the parish mission. Those activities include (but are not limited to):
 

• Funeral receptions for bereaved parish families
• Prayer Quilt Ministry
• Rosary Ministry
• Scholarships for graduating high school seniors
• Seminarian support
• Service projects 
• Social opportunities
• Spring Luncheon and Style Show
• Women’s Day of Reflection

"O Mother of Good Counsel, patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, 
intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous and loving leaders of the Church."
