Memorial Scholarship Fund

Bake Sale

CDA Partners with Knights of Columbus to make available the dessert portion of the Lenten Fish Fry. Fry meals for parishioners to purchase. During the first six Fridays of Lent, we need volunteers to  1) bake cakes or pies, 2) volunteer to slice, package, organize, and serve desserts, or 3) to consider making a donation to this fundraiser.

Budget

Prior to the beginning of a new CDA year, a budget needs to be prepared. The Regent appoints a committee which includes the Treasurer. All foreseeable receipts such as duties, donations and fundraisers, as well as disbursements, such as state and national dues, liability, insurance, postage, supplies, donations to charities, etc. are included. The committee periodically reviews the budget as the year progresses and makes any necessary adjustments.

Christmas Market

NEW! CDA is hosting it's 2nd Christmas Market at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church on Friday and Saturday, November 15-16, 2024. Volunteer today and help make this a success!

Circle of Love

This image symbolizes the COL Program. The 7 points within the Circle of Love indicate the needs of the Church and community which are best served by Catholic Daughters. They are FAMILY, EDUCATION, LEGISLATION, LEADERSHIP, SPIRITUAL ENHANCEMENT, YOUTH and QUALITY OF LIFE. Local Courts are asked to select a program from the "COL wheel" that their members want to pursue. If you want to use your talents with other members to make a difference, join the COL committee.

Financial Review

Twice a year, specifically in April and October, all CDA financial records are reviewed in detail. Officers are in attendance, while the District Deputy and volunteer reviewers cross-check financial documents for accuracy. Detailed instructions are given to the reviewers by the District Deputy throughout the process. If you are detail-oriented, please consider volunteering at the next financial review.

Hospitality
Through our member's generosity, we have been able to serve a meal at each meeting. Members sign up in advance and select a month to bring either a salad, main course, dessert or water/drinks. Help is also needed to set-up the lunch table as well as clearing the area after lunch. If you gift is Hospitality, please sign up and be part of our next meal.

Memorial Scholarship Fund

Created in 1980, the Memorial Scholarship Fund (MSF) is a Texas CDA project where the fund is used for scholarships. We give graduating seniors who are Junior CDA members or relatives of CDA members the opportunity to apply for a scholarship. The income comes from CDA members purchasing and giving the gift of a Mass to anyone who is living and deceased. This program honors each of the past State Regents.

Membership

We're ALL on this committee! Increasing membership is the lifeblood of every organization! The simple way for our Court to grow is for EACH of us to ASK SOMEONE TO JOIN!! It could be a friend, co-worker, relative, neighbor, a church buddy, someone in your book club or gym. We ask EVERY member to add a new angel to our Court to work for Our Lord through the many programs and activities of CDA.

Newsletter

Each quarter, a newsletter for Court Queen of All Apostles is written, produced, and published. Copes are given to our members, the Church and are available to potential members. If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions or would like to submit and article, please contact the newsletter editor. If you have computer experience in graphics and layout, it would be immensely helpful and useful to us, as we chronicle and promote the Unity and Charity of our active Court, as well as State and National news.

Seminarians

Each Christmas, our Court focuses on celebrating with the seminarians and Priests of St. Mary's Seminary. We share a deeply spiritual Mass together, followed by a delicious meal. Our main goal is to support each seminarian with a monetary gift, and feel our love and support as they make their journey to Priesthood. If you can help organize the event, donate, or help us raise money for this very worthy cause, then we need you!

Silver Rose

The Silver Rose Prayer Service helps spread the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe and promotes respect for life. Silver roses are stewarded from town to town by Knights of Columbus (KOC) in Canada, U.S. and Mexico, where prayer services are held promoting the dignity of all human life while honoring Our Lady. Join in!

Wreaths Across America

CDA partners with National Wreaths Across America (WAA) to place wreaths on the headstone of our fallen U.S. veterans. Last year, over 2.5 million wreaths were placed in over 3400 locations. REMEMBER the Fallen...HONOR those who Serve...TEACH our children the value of freedom. Each CDA member is encouraged to purchase a wreath and help make this worthy cause a success!
