Our goals consist of uniting the women of our parish through organizing and participating in religious, educational, and social activities; working with our pastor in spiritual and material undertaking for the welfare of the parish; and reaching out to the community while uniting with the common goals of the National and Diocesan Councils of Catholic Women.

Our organization is affiliated with the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), which consists of more than 4,000 Catholic women's organizations throughout the United States. We belong to he La Crosse Deanery Council of Catholic Women that includes women from 13 additional parishes in our local geographical area and to the larger Diocesan wide Council of Catholic Women.
