Some of the reasons you might consider forming a local group in your parish or diocese are:
Fellowship with other believers supports and encourages. Prayer, work and study together have great potential for strengthening our own faith.
The Holy Father has stressed that Catholic women have an important task -- especially of transmitting the true faith as mothers and/or teachers. We need to prepare ourselves for this key role.
The witness and faithful presence of Catholic women can give support and encouragement to our priests, bishops and other believers.
Visible groups of faithful Catholic women will help contradict the false claim that most Catholic women reject Church teachings or feel "oppressed" by the Church.
For all these reasons, we encourage the cultivation of groups of Catholic women -- even small informal groups of friends. Some of these local groups might blossom into official WFF affiliates, though this is not by any means obligatory.
