programs. Scholarships are available to individuals ministering within their
parish in music, administration, youth ministry and in a wide range of social
concerns activities. Scholarships are available to women, men and youth
throughout the dioceses to empower and enrich their faith.
The CCW scholarship is
financially supported solely by parishes in the dioceses. This past year 216
