Western Oregon’s Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women, with roots going back a century, now has 40 dues-paying members, down from decades past.
Members are in their 70s, 80s and 90s. Yet they feel sure that younger women would find the group and its mission inspiring and enjoyable.
“We are not just little old ladies sitting in the pews saying the rosary,” said Sue Anker, a longtime ACCW leader.
