Fortitude that Inspires You to Lead and Serve Boldly
Military life demands courage. Discipleship demands even more.
MCCW forms women with spiritual fortitude—the strength to stand firm, to serve generously, and to lead with humility and resolve. We believe Catholic women are not meant to shrink back, but to step forward as the visible presence of Christ in their families, parishes, and communities.
Fortitude is lived through:
- Leadership and service
- Evangelization and mentorship
- Courage in transitions, deployments, and uncertainty
You are not called to do everything—but you are called to do something.
This is Fortitude that INSPIRES.
Not pressure—but purpose.
At MCCW, Fortitude is the courage to step forward and use the gifts God has entrusted to you—for your family, your community, and the mission of the Church. It honors the strength of women who serve in uniform and those who support the uniform, recognizing that military life forms leaders in unique and powerful ways.
Fortitude is the strength to recognize each woman’s God-given gifts and potential—and to be encouraged to embrace them, trust them, and grow into their fullest expression. Whether you lead troops, lead a household, serve quietly behind the scenes, or stand at the front of ministry, your gifts matter. They were given intentionally, and they are needed.
MCCW walks alongside women who are ready to act—not perfectly, but faithfully. Through Fortitude, women are formed and supported to:
- Discern and activate their God-given gifts
- Step into leadership, service, and mentorship with confidence
- Live the Gospel boldly in uniform, in the home, and in the community
- Serve alongside other women committed to action and mission
- Become the visible presence of Christ wherever they are sent
Fortitude is not about doing more—it’s about doing what you are called to do, with courage and conviction. It is choosing trust over doubt, purpose over hesitation, and action over waiting.
You don’t need permission to lead. You’ve already been called.
Rise. Serve. Lead.
The mission needs the gifts only you can offer.
