Junior Catholic Daughters of the Americas
-
Who are the Catholic Daughters?
- The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas.
- They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive "to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness."
- The CDA motto is "Unity and Charity."
-
History of the Catholic Daughters
- The CDA was formed over 100 years ago and today numbers 70,000 dues-paying members in 1,250 courts (local chapters) in 45 states across the country, and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Kenya, and Peru.
- Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other's company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities.
- Deeply spiritual, together they share faith, love of God and a distinctly feminine spirituality alluded to by Pope John Paul II when he spoke of the necessity of "feminine genius" in today's world.
-
What do Catholic Daughters do?
- The program includes concerns of today's church and society as well as issues that affect the well-being of women and children.
- The Legislative Program encourages interested members to learn about laws that may influence their faith and to contact their state representatives to make their personal positions known through Operation Morning Star. [The Catholic Daughters of the Americas does not endorse political candidates.]
- Girls and young women ages 6-18 can join the Junior Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
-
Under the patronage of the Blessed Mother, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas are united by their faith in Jesus Christ, in their devotion to the Church and the Holy See.

The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 12,000 councils and 1.6 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.
