The Circle of Love
The Circle of Love depicts the focus of
CDA activity. Each spoke is bound
together by the common interest: Love.
The seven points indicate the needs of the
Church and community best served by the
Catholic Daughters.
The Education Contest/Scholarship Program, for both youth and
adults, provides an opportunity to share God-given talents and
pursue further education.
The Family Program encourages members to strengthen their
families by praying, working, and playing together, and by loving
ad supporting one another in all they do.
Our Leadership Program encourages women to assume positions
of leadership in the organization, parish and community and
supplies information and tools to assist them.
Our Legislation Program, helps keep us informed on public issues
that impact our quality of life and family values.
The Spiritual enhancement Program inspires members both as
individuals and as a sisterhood, to deepen their relationships with
God; our service is the way we witness our faith in Christ.
The Youth/JCDA Program nurtures personal and spiritual growth
and promotes service to others through activities and experiences
for young people.
