In 1929, the Galveston Diocesan Council of Catholic Women organized at the urging of U.S. Catholic bishops to affiliate with the National Council of Catholic Women. As an early project, the women of the Diocese of Galveston established an endowment fund in support of seminarians. This fund was incorporated in 1933 and named The Catholic Clerical Student Fund (CCSF) and remains a major focus of the G-H ACCW members.

 On behalf the executive board of the Galveston Houston Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (G-H ACCW) along with our Deanery Representatives throughout the Galveston- Houston area we are so happy that you are here to learn more about G-H ACCW.  On May 14 ^th-16 ^th we held our 85 ^th annual convention in Dickinson, Texas at the beautiful Christian Renewal Center, an absolute quiet jewel nestled in the piney woods of Dickinson, Texas.
