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
Father Ed Lamp
April 25, 2021
4th Sunday of Easter
Acts 4:8-12;
1 John 3:1-2;
John 10:11-18
Today is known as GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY because, in each year of the liturgical cycle on this 4th Sunday, the Gospel is always taken from the 10th chapter of John where Jesus speaks of himself as the "good shepherd".
In today’s passage Jesus emphasises the self-sacrificing element in his own life: "The good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep."Click here for rest of Sunday Reading

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.
