The Catholic Women Organization (CWO), Archdiocese of Abuja, lived up to its tradition of unity, service and devotion as thousands of women from across the Archdiocese gathered on Saturday, 15th November 2025, to celebrate their annual Day of Re-Union.
Led by the Archdiocesan President, Mrs. Ebele Okoye, alongside her committed executive team, the women turned out in impressive numbers, demonstrating their unwavering love for the Church and their dedication to the spiritual and developmental progress of the Archdiocese. Their vibrant presence and collective enthusiasm reflected the strength and resilience of Catholic women across the Federal Capital Territory.
Beyond their annual celebration, the CWO continues to distinguish itself through acts of charity and community upliftment.
Among their recent interventions is the construction of multiple boreholes across underserved communities at the outskirts of the FCT, providing clean water and relief to needy households.
As part of this year’s Re-Union celebrations, the Organization presented special awards to a select group of women recognised for their distinguished, selfless and sacrificial service to the Church and the CWO. The honourees include:
