Welcome to the official page of the Catholic Women Organisation (CWO) at St. Teresa Catholic Church, Benin City.

We are a powerful and prayerful body of Catholic mothers, wives, and daughters, united in our mission to live out our faith and uphold Christian values in our homes, our parish, and our society.

Guided by the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we strive to be pillars of faith, hope, and charity. The CWO is a loving sisterhood where women find spiritual nourishment, mutual support, and a profound opportunity to serve God and His people.

Parish Support:  To be a pillar of support for our Parish Priest and to actively participate in all pastoral and liturgical activities of the church.

Sisterhood & Support:  To provide a loving, supportive, and empowering community for all women in our parish.

Activities

Mother’s Day Celebration: We take the lead in celebrating the gift of motherhood in the parish with special prayers and activities.

Charity Visitations: We regularly visit and provide material and spiritual support to orphanages, hospitals, and homes for the elderly.

Spiritual Programmes: We organise spiritual programmes such as devotions and retreats for women.

Parish Support: We actively participate in parish church sanitation and support for the priests and catechists.

Skills Acquisition & Empowerment: We host workshops to empower women with practical skills for financial independence and family well-being.
