The Fellowship of Catholic Christian Women, founded in Riverside , CA on January 26. 1996, by Patricia A. Scileppi (1945-2009), exists to bring women together in the Spirit, and to deepen each one’s personal relationship with God.

Since then, new fellowships have been formed to help further the faith of women by prayerful study and sharing on topics such as: the Blessed Mother, Mother Teresa, The Fruit of the Spirit, Women of the Bible, Spiritual Gifts, and Prayer.

In January 2002, the Diocese of San Bernardino, California granted full recognition to the Fellowship of Catholic Christian Women.  To support existing fellowships, while inspiring and encouraging the growth of new ones, FCCW sponsors Women’s Day events, as well as formation and leadership workshops.

2006 marked the 10^th Anniversary of FCCW and the first Spanish-speaking group: FCCM (Fraternidad Catolica Cristiana de Mujeres), in Rialto , CA at St. Catherine of Siena. 

FCCW continues to grow with new fellowships forming under the leadership of Ministry Director, Barbara Cheddar.
