We are Women of Faith and Action!

National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) is a federation of Catholic Women's organizations that was founded March 4, 1920 in Washington, D.C. at the call of the U.S. Catholic Bishops.

The NCCW was introduced into the State of Florida at a time when there was only one Diocese — the Diocese of St. Augustine.

In August 1958, Pope Pius XII announced the formation of the Diocese of Miami, with Bishop Coleman Carroll appointed as it's first Bishop.  By November of that year, Bishop Carroll had formed the Miami Diocesan Council of Catholic Women

May 1968 brought the announcement from his Holiness, Pope Paul VI that a new Ecclesiastical Province of Miami had been established which now included the Archdiocese of Miami as well as the two new dioceses of Orlando & St. Petersburg and St. Augustine.  Now that Miami was an Archdiocese, our boundaries changed, and so did our name — we were now the Miami Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women.
