The Council of Catholic Women - Archdiocese of Washington has been hosting a nightly Rosary call for the healing of the Church. We believe prayer is the foundation of action. With the intercession of our Blessed Mother and by the power of the Holy Trinity, praying the Rosary can help restore the Church to a place of safety and moral guidance as a response to the scandal of sexual abuse.

Join with CCW-ADW as we pray the Rosary to help heal the Church

CRAFTER'S WE NEED YOU!!

Catholic Charities has a special volunteer initiative regarding COVID-19 for those of you who sew. They are are in need of volunteers to sew cloth face coverings for staff and clients. The production of homemade face coverings will help alleviate the mask shortage and allow for some level of protection for members of our community who do not have access to medical-grade masks and for those whom physical distancing is not an option.

This volunteer opportunity will be done in your home using materials you have (e.g. cotton sheets, cotton fabric) and then mailing the completed facemarks to our headquarters on G St. NW. More information and instructions can be found here:

Some thoughts on the Coronavirus from the Jean Kelly, President of the National Council of Catholic Women

" Please continue to pray for those that have been affected (by the coronavirus). The Novena for Protection Against the Coronavirus and Pope Francis' prayer to Mary During Coronavirus Pandemic are useful tools for comfort and healing....

Remember, the best protection is properly washing your hands. Praying the “Our Father” while doing this that takes the recommended 20 seconds you need. Our Lady of Good Counsel protect us!"
