\"\"<\/a>The nation\u2019s oldest and largest organization of Catholic women in the Americas active in 45 states across the country, and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands Founded in 1903. Local groups are affiliated with State and National Organizations. Groups are called \u201ccourts.\u201d Courts usually meet in a particular parish, but membership is open to all Catholic women in the area.<\/p>\n

At a time when so many diverse voices are speaking for women, membership in the Catholic Daughters of the Americas provides a strong united voice for women who feel that their sense of family and morality are not being articulated.\u00a0 The larger the membership the stronger our voice will be.\u00a0Each member shares in the good works of the entire organization with little effort on the part of one individual.<\/p>\n

The spiritual life of members is enhanced through the various spiritual and charitable activities of the CDA.\u00a0\u00a0Our Patroness is Mary in Her Immaculate Conception.<\/p>\n
