National Regent's Message
Thoughts from our National Regent
My Dear Sisters in Christ,
I can’t believe how quickly time passes. Even with the extraordinary circumstances we have been living through, we have experienced Lent and have rejoiced through Easter in what seems like record time. My special thanks to Father Ed Lamp, Connie Dronette, and all the wonderful Catholic Daughters who shared their personal spirituality with us on the CDA Facebook page. You have helped to keep us connected to God and to each other while we have been apart.

Reflection
July 5, 2020
Sunday of week 14 of Ordinary Time
Commentary on
Zechariah 9:9-10;
Romans 8:9.11-13;
Matthew 11:25-30
There are two apparently contradictory sides to the Gospel. On the one hand, there are very radical demands made on us in the following of Jesus. An example of these ‘hard sayings’ was the Gospel of last Sunday. “Anyone who prefers father or mother… son or daughter to me is not worthy of me. "

Spirituality and ServiceThe 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.
