The Catholic Women's Club is an organization of Catholic women found in almost every Catholic diocese and parish community.  Every woman in the parish is considered a member and is invited to be a part of the CWC.   The mission of the CWC is to provide service and leadership to promote parish life and spiritual growth within ourselves and the parish.

The Athens CWC has two fundraising projects each year. The Christmas Cookie Walk is held annually in December. For a full week leading up to the “Walk”, the women of the parishes (and some men too!) gather in the Holy Family Center to bake cookies, kolache, and other seasonal favorites.  The day of the Cookie Walk is a festive gathering with trays of preordered cookies, selections of cookies for creating a tray of personal choices, Fr. Mark’s famous cinnamon rolls, and rich hot chocolate.

The CWC also offers for sale holiday cards and note cards featuring images from our own churches. Proceeds from these fundraisers allow the Women's Club to support a variety of parish and community interests in Athens, including: 

• Sponsoring and Organizing Sacramental Receptions

• Sponsoring and Organizing Funeral Luncheons

• Sponsoring and Organizing the Parish Thanksgiving Dinner

• Support of an Athens CWC program, The Rosary Project

• Providing items for the Epiphany House Blessing

• Support for Athens Catholic Teens (ACT)

• Support for OU Catholics

• Financial and prayer support for Seminarians

• Donations to Fr. Marty's Kenya St. Jude Project

• Donations to the Pregnancy Resource Center
