The Executive Officers of the Catholic Daughters of the AmericasWelcome
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."
Twofold Purpose: Sprituality 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.

National Regent's Message
Thoughts from our National Regent
My Dear Sisters in Christ,
As I am sure you are aware, this quarter since the last issue of SHARE has been a difficult one for our nation and for our organization. We have been scrambling since June to come up with end of term procedures in preparation for the new term. Putting together this issue of SHARE has presented a particular challenge. It was going to be our convention issue, but now it is about a convention that almost was. Instead of a convention recap, this issue will feature synopses of workshops that were going to be presented.

National Clergy Consultant Fr. Ed Lamp's Sunday
Reflection
Dear CDA members:
This will be Father Ed's last Sunday Reflection. We have enjoyed and benefitted so much from his thoughts. Thanks, Father Ed!Sunday Homily:
19th Sunday Homily in Ordinary Time Year A
August 9, 2020
1 Kings 19:9.11-13;
Romans 9:1-5;
Matthew 14:22-33
We have today in the Gospel a continuation of last week’s story about the feeding of thousands of people by Jesus in the desert. Immediately after the event, we are told that Jesus “made” the disciples get into the boat and go to the opposite shore while he himself sent the crowds away.
