The Atlanta Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (AACCW) is the official Archdiocesan approved Catholic Women’s organization which represents and speaks for Catholic women living within the confines of the Atlanta Archdiocese. By Archdiocesan decree, all Catholic Women living the Archdiocese are automatically members of the AACCW.

Our organization was formally established by Bishop Francis Hyland in 1957, and became known as the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW). On February 21, 1962, Atlanta was elevated to the status of an Archdiocese and we then became known as the Atlanta Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (AACCW) The boundaries of our organization correspond to the boundaries of the Atlanta Archdiocese, which include the 69 counties of North Georgia and extend just over the border to Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. By Archdiocesan decree, all Catholic women living in the Atlanta Archdiocese are automatically members of the AACCW.
