At the State Officers Conference last July National Director Nancy Bambenek gave an inspiring presentation which included a rousing rendition of the song "We Are Family" motivating attendees to get up and dance. A video was promised at the time; click on the link below to see a short 30-second recap, better late than never they say.

Father ed's sunday reading
23 January 2022
Third Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year C).
Readings:
Neh 8:2-6, 8-10.
1 Cor 12:12-30
Lk 1:1-4, 4:14-21.
In the First Reading and the Gospel today we have the seeds of an argument from the early days of the Church which raised tempers between conservative and progressive Christians, and was the main reason why St Paul’s journeying was everywhere dogged with controversy and hostility.
On the one hand we have the famous priest and scribe, Ezra, leading a contingent of Jews back from exile about the year 400 B.C. and setting out to revive the integral Mosaic Law, translating and explaining it to the people, who welcomed this Law with veneration. On the other hand we have Jesus Christ saying that his mission is to bring the good news to the poor and proclaim freedom to captives
St Paul’s goal was to help people understand the novelty of Christ’s grace and so attain this liberty, which he saw as freedom from enslavement to the Old Law.Click here for rest of Message

Winter Message
Sherry NillesMy dear Sisters in Christ,
We are almost at the end of another year! What difference have we made in our personal lives? Our spiritual lives? With our families? With our courts?
A new year starts with vigor and making many promises that we will change our lives to make a difference in our world. What was on your list?
Have we added more time for talking to God? How about listening to God? The Magnificat has helped in my prayer life. It contains a simple morning and evening prayer plus a saint of the day.
The lives of the saints are interesting.
Our beloved saints lived very simple ordinary lives. Anyone can become a saint. Isn’t that our purpose in life?
To quote the Baltimore Catechism, we are on this earth to know, love and serve God and our neighbor here on earth and join God in heaven.
One of the best places to know, love and serve God is in our beautiful organization, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
