The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) is an organization open to all women of Immaculate Conception Church. We are affiliated with the Deanery, Archdiocesan and National Councils of Catholic Women.

We are united in Christ by our commitment to educate and empower women in spirituality, leadership and service. Our services respond with Christian values to the needs of people in our parish, community, and throughout the world.

Some of our projects include:

• Donations to Immaculate Conception Church
• Immaculate Conception School Tuition
• Totus Tuus Scholarship
• Our Brother's Keepers
• Meals on Wheels
• NET Ministries Donation
• Water for LIfe
• Madonna Plan
• Appalachia Christmas Program
• Catholic Medical Mission Board
• Birthright Donations
• Risen Savior Mission
• ProLife Across America
• Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life
• North Side Life Care Center
• National Center on Sexual Exploitation
• Our Lady of Peace Cancer Home Donation
• Kitui, Kenya Dormitory Project

We respond spiritually in these ways:

• Hold weekly Word and Communion  Services and pray the Rosary at Crest View Nursing Home.
• Pray the Rosary before funeral Masses for our deceased members
• Offer Mass intentions for deceased CCW members and spouses
• Lead the Parish Rosary each Sunday in May and October
• Pray the Rosary before each of our CCW Meetings
• Attend Mass in a body on the first Saturday in May and October
• Offer prayers and send "Sunshine" to our members  when they are ill
• Host an annual Women's Lenten Retreat
