The East Central Deanery Council of Catholic Women is a geographic division of the Tyler Diocesan Council of Catholic Women. Our purpose is to unite all the Catholic women's organizations of the East Central Deanery parishes to develop spiritual growth, leadership potential, and to motivate and assist them to act upon current issues in the Church and society.

Our Deanery council is a medium through which we may speak and act on matters of common interest:

•  to cooperate with the recommendations of the Bishop of the Tyler Diocese,
•  to provide representatives to the Tyler Diocesan Council of Catholic Women with a voice and a vote at the bi-annual Conventions and General Assemblies when all the Deaneries congregate as a full body;
• to relate to other national and international organizations in the solutin of present day problems;
• and to unite with the Church and its teachings.
