The Catholic Daughters of the Americas are rooted in a two‑fold purpose—spirituality and service—helping women deepen their faith while living it out through meaningful acts of charity and support. 

Catholic Daughters participate in a wide range of spiritual, charitable, and parish‑support activities, including:

• Homebound & Pastoral Visits – Offering prayer, companionship, and the Eucharist to parishioners who cannot attend Mass.
• Parish Service Projects – Assisting with events, liturgical support, and community outreach.
• Charitable Works – Supporting local families, shelters, food pantries, and diocesan initiatives.
• Spiritual Growth – Encouraging members to deepen their faith through prayer, retreats, and shared reflection.
• Community Building – Creating opportunities for friendship, encouragement, and shared mission among women of the parish.

Grounded in dignity, compassion, and a desire to serve Christ, the Catholic Daughters embody “spirituality and service,” the heart and soul of our mission.

Membership is open to all Catholic women age 18 and older who desire:

• A deeper connection to their faith
• Opportunities to serve others
• Fellowship with women who share a commitment to prayer and community
