The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. CDA donates to charities, administers scholarship programs, and strives “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” The CDA motto is “Unity and Charity.”

Founded in 1903, the CDA currently numbers 66,000 dues-paying members in 1,150 courts (local chapters) in 45 states, 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. In our local court, we engage our community through our charity work. We also enjoy the sisterhood of praying with each other, developing spiritually, and celebrating the blessings in our lives.
