Specific “war-time” service is not a requirement to become a member. Any baptized Catholic currently serving in the Armed Forces or discharged under honorable conditions from any component of the U.S. Armed Forces and has served on Active Duty for a period of 90 days or longer (includes training time for Reserves and National Guard) is eligible for membership in the Catholic War Veterans (CWV).
Family of a veteran? The Catholic War Veterans Auxiliary is open to baptized Catholic men and women, related within 2 degrees, to a veteran or currently serving Armed Forces member of ANY faith. We were the first VSO to open Auxiliary membership to men.
We exemplify a steadfast commitment to community support through various initiatives and programs. From organizing food drives to volunteering at local shelters, our members actively engage in hands-on efforts to address the needs of the community. Additionally, the Catholic War Veterans & Auxiliary provide assistance to veterans in navigating benefits, offer educational scholarships, and participate in patriotic events that honor our nation’s heroes. Through our collective dedication and service-oriented approach, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families within our communities, embodying the values of faith, service, and compassion.
