Unanswered Question: What causes Catholic women to stay in or leave their Church?
The Archdiocesan Women’s Committee (AWC), an advisory group to Cardinal Cupich focusing on women’s issues is currently gathering information to discuss with the Cardinal in March regarding What Causes Catholic Women To Stay In Or Leave Their Church?. We have a tremendous opportunity to Bring the Voices of Women Forward---however we cannot do this without you!! Please help us by completing one of our Discussion Guides found online or at the entrances of church.

We would like to hear from you if you attend church, but we also want to hear from those who no longer attend. If you have daughters, granddaughters or friends who don’t attend church, we would also like to encourage them to answer these questions.
