The Catholic Daughters of the Americas was instituted as a national organization in 1903 for women with the purpose of growing in spirituality and working in faithful service and love for God. 50 years later, a group of ladies from St. Joseph Catholic Church organized Court St. Joseph. Now Court St. Jospeh incorporates St. Joseph and Sacred Heart Churches and recently celebrated its 70th Anniversary. Regent Regaina Forsythe says our local court has been truly blessed with the dedication, commitment and generosity of members which has allowed our court to flourish for 70 years. Regaina further stated the impact our local CDA Court has on our community is truly a blessing through the various charitable, religious, and educational projects of the Court and emphasized “Membership is a blessing both to members and to the community”! However, for our court to remain strong and active, we need new members! October 22nd will be CDA Sunday and CDA members will have membership information and will be available after mass to speak with anyone interested in joining the Catholic Daughters or you may contact any officer of CDA Court #1642.
