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."
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.

Father ed's sunday reading
25 October, 2020.
30th Sunday, Year A
Our Gospel celebrates the great commandment of love. To love our neighbour as God does, prejudices based on race, religion or colour have to go. The revelation at Mount Sinai prompted a sense of fairness towards others, deeper than specific commandments. Jesus demonstrates a life of utterly unselfish loving, and invites us to make that our guide to life. For St Paul, this imitation of Christ is the core of spirituality.
1st Reading: Exodus 22:20-26
Responsorial: Psalm 17:2-4, 47, 51
2nd Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10
Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40
