North Texas Catholic Women

Our faith and vocation to love through Jesus Christ is what binds us together. The primary mission of our organization is to create a sense of belonging for women in all stages of life; married, single, and consecrated. The wisdom we share with one another when we gather exemplifies a united desire to grow in Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

Guest speakers present Catholic perspectives on women’s issues that further illustrate how women of faith can nurture a culture of community in all aspects of society while speaking to the personal challenges so many of us encounter.

Programs and Activities will grow to include: Online communities, speaker nights, retreats, and larger annual conferences.

Our Mission

North Texas Catholic Women is a sisterhood of Catholic women on a journey to a closer relationship to God through the Gospel. We invite all women to participate in prayerfully planned conferences and programs to deepen spiritual growth through practical resources to help us thrive in our daily lives.
