Christ Our Redeemer Council of Catholic Women

The Council of Catholic Women uphold the mission of NCCW (National Council), “to support, empower and educate women in spirituality, leadership, & service”. All women of Christ Our Redeemer Parish are invited to join CCW. We would love to have you come for meetings and fellowship. The ladies of CCW help out with many parish events i.e., the parish picnic and hosting funeral receptions when needed. We volunteer time, energy and resources to donate to local charities and each year, we provide two college scholarships to deserving COR women. We meet the first Friday of each month for morning Mass followed by a breakfast meeting with a program. In addition, we conduct two evening meetings including a Baby Shower for Life and an International Evening. We also hold several social gatherings – Ladies Night Out!

There are a number of activities that members can choose to participate in according to their interests and availability.

Baby Shower for Life, Inc.: In October, members bring gifts for expectant mothers and their unborn babies, anything from diapers, baby furniture, clothing, etc., which we then turn-over to Life, Incorporated, home for unwed mothers located in Fort Walton Beach.

Funeral Receptions: Following Mass and/or burial service, our ladies prepare and host a reception in the parish hall, all women are welcome to help.

Lenten & Advent Day of Renewal: Our work includes ministering to each other and sharing in several spiritual gatherings throughout the year. We join with Catholic women throughout our Deanery to participate in a Day of Renewal, one during Lent and another at Advent time. The day typically includes inspiring spiritual talks by special guest speakers, Reconciliation, Mass, and lunch.

NCCW "Water for Life" Project: Our national organization collects funds to provide water to third-world countries. We participate by collecting small change at each meeting

Affiliated with the Council of Catholic Women, the Priscilla Circle seeks to foster and nurture the goals of women through fellowship, spiritual growth, and service. We offer an additional meeting time for those who cannot meet Friday mornings.

We meet in the evenings the third week of the month at each other’s homes. Children are welcome and membership is free. Our meetings are focused on allowing the women to have spiritual time on a given subject and guided by a guest speaker. We try to keep our business aspect to our Facebook page allowing more time for reflection and dialog at the meeting.  Some other activities that we have hosted are the Harvest Dance, ice cream socials, and meals for new moms, mom playgroup on Tuesday mornings, and a reflection group for moms.
