The National Board of Catholic Women actively seeks to enable the spiritual growth and development of all Catholic women.We aim to promote the communion and participation of Catholic women in fulfilling Christ’s mission by:

1. Creating a space for the diversity of women to be in communion with one another
2. Equipping women to fully participate in the Churches mission through formation and information
3. Ensuring the hopes and concerns of Catholic women are heard within the Church and that women are involved in decision-making and mission
   The NBCW operates centrally as a national umbrella body with the support of the Bishops’ Conference.

In addition we have a framework that holds the potential to reach into the women in the pews of the local Church through our structure of Diocesan Links forming a national network.

This key partnership between the national body, diocesan links and the Bishops of each diocese situates the NBCW to be a transformative vehicle for synodal development- listening, forming, representing and advocating for those on the margins.

With the innovation of communications the NBCW strives to offer centralised online formation, celebrating the contribution women make to our faith and in living our the Mission of Christ.
