NCCW Meets in Jacksonville, Elects New Officers

The NCCW Episcopal Liaison, appointed by the Chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is a spiritual and practical advisor to the NCCW Board of Directors and is the NCCW's liaison to the U.S. Bishops.  Rev. Michael J. Bransfield, Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston, is the NCCW Episcopal Liaison.

Moderators

Archbishops/Bishops usually appoint a moderator to a diocesan Council of Catholic Women  This moderator attends Council meetings and serves as a spiritual advisor to the group as well as a liaison with the Bishop.  Local pastors or a member of the parish staff serve the same function in parish organizations.

Moderators often attend the NCCW Bienniel Convention and the General Assemblies along with members of their Councils.  Every two years, the moderators elect a Chairman of the Archdiocesan/Diocesan Moderators, who serves in an advisory capacity to the NCCW Board of Directors.
