The Saint Rita Council of Catholic Women is the local affiliate of the National, State, and Diocesan Councils of Catholic Women and is assigned to the West Central Deanery. Its goal is to unite the Women of St. Rita Parish in purpose, direction, and action. The CCW has three primary objectives:

 serving the parish and local community
 development of the spiritual life of its members
 supporting the Deanery and the Diocese.

Members act upon current issues in the Catholic Church, parish, community and family life. The Council of Catholic Women is composed of individual Guilds, which concentrate on specific areas of need.

Meetings are held monthly on the 3^rd Thursday in the Mary Star of the Sea Room at 7:00 PM. All women  of the Parish are welcome to attend.
