Bishop Erik Pohlmeier proclaims DCCW Membership Sunday

Bishop Erik Pohlmeier has proclaimed the second Sunday in October as the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) Membership Sunday for the Diocese of St. Augustine. The diocese will observe this recognition on Sunday, Oct. 11.

The proclamation honors the service of Catholic women within the diocese and invites them to join the DCCW to find spiritual growth and fellowship. The organization currently includes approximately 500 members organized into 28 councils throughout the diocese.

Bishop Pohlmeier noted the potential for service and the strength found when women are united in faith and dignity. The diocese recognizes that women contribute to parish life through liturgical ministries, teaching the faith, supporting schools, and organizing charitable outreach.
