Western Catholic Union

"For Family and Charity." Western Catholic Union is a fraternal benefit society that helps members achieve financial security, but also provides an opportunity to help our local charities through our branch structure. WCU offers competitive rates to satisfy our members' needs. Our ability to sell high-quality products provides the necessary funds to support our fraternal efforts.

The strength of the WCU lies in its members. Through our local branches the members join forces to help many charitable causes, especially Catholic schools and churches.

Financial security . . . a focus on family . . . a commitment to members and their communities. For over 130 years, Western Catholic Union has been guided by these principles established by our founders in 1877.

As a leader among fraternal benefit life insurance associations, we remain committed to offering our members quality products to assist them in achieving financial security and peace of mind through affordable, common-sense solutions to their unique financial needs. We continually strive to provide convenient access to our services in ways that best fit the busy lives of today's members.

We measure our success not only on our high-grade investment portfolio and strong surplus position, but by the positive impact we have on our members' families and communities.
