The 2022 – 2023 CWV & Auxiliary Programs are now online. Please distribute to your Officers as soon as possible. These programs are what sets the Catholic War Veterans & Auxiliary of the USA apart from other Veterans Service Organizations. Administering our programs are the responsibility of the Echelon Officers – each position has a corresponding program.  

On each of these pages, you will find:

  • A description of each Officer’s duties from the CWV Officers Manual
  • The National Officer’s Program with details, rules, deadlines, etc
  • The Officer Report Form to be filed twice a year with all of the upper Echelons
  • Other Program helps – tips, other forms, etc.

Recruitment & Retention read below and then click HERE

Each day is an opportunity to recruitment a new member. It is an ongoing effort – you can recruit anytime, anywhere! Every member is asked to assist their Post or Auxiliary unit to retain membership and recruit a new member. This is the best way for us to continue fulfilling our motto “For God, For Country and For Home”, and helping veterans. One new member, in turn will then reach out to someone he / she knows who can recruit another new member who will reach out to recruit another.

To do this, resource materials have been developed to help Post and Auxiliary units in these efforts. Some are available for download on this website and printed; others can be ordered from the CWV online store. Contact National HQ to find out what other items may be available to assist you further..
