Two Fold Purpose: Spirituality and Service
The integration of spirituality and service is the foundation of the Catholic Daughters.
CDA helps women develop their spirituality and provides avenues of service to live out that spirituality. The CDA gives members a unique opportunity to share their faith with other Catholic women.
Helping others through charitable acts in the spirit of Jesus Christ is the heart of our organization.
"Spirituality and Service": the heart and soul foundation of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
Our Mission
"Catholic Daughters of the Americas strives to embrace the principle of faith working through love in the promotion of justice, equality, and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all."

Father ed's sunday reading
January 31, 2021
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Gospel: Mark 1:21-28In the not-too-distant past, Catholics felt confident that God’s will for our faith and conduct is infallibly communicated by Pope and bishops, with the teaching authority given them by Christ himself. The doctrine of papal infallibility proclaimed in 1869, stressed the principle of authority so strongly that many felt unfree to make up their own minds on issues of faith or morals.

Happy New Year!
Following a mild dry fall, winter arrived in Iowa with a vengeance! Snow driven by gale-force winds changed many plans for a quiet peaceful holiday.
This is a good analysis of the first six months of my term as National Regent!
The Installation Mass was lovely and the first meeting of the National Board in Des Moines, Iowa, was very productive.
