Who We Are
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) is the largest and oldest organization of Catholic Women in the world with membership of approximately 114,000. The organization was formed in 1903 by the Knights of Columbus and has its national office in New York. The Catholic Daughters is the largest affiliate of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW).
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.
What We Do
We donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” We lead the White Ribbons Against Pornography (WRAP) Campaign and support the needs of the parish and the Catholic schools in the area. We are all active in different ministries in the parishes we attend: Catechists, Eucharistic Ministries, Ushers, Alter Servers, Adoration Coordinators, Lectors and Volunteers for any need. These are all activities that give us joy to be able to serve and help build our faith.
We enjoy each other’s company at meetings and work hard for our parishes and communities. Deeply spiritual, together we 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.

Who We Are
We are group of Catholic men and women who offer their services to our pastor to aid him in performing spiritual works in the parish. We do this by placing ourselves under the banner of Mary so that with her help we may develop greater holiness in our own lives as well as spread a deeper devotion to her among others.The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work. The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium. The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish. Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.
The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbor on a voluntary basis in about 170 countries. The first meeting of the Legion of Mary took place in Myra House, Francis Street, Dublin, Ireland, on 7 September, 1921. This meeting was to have very beneficial consequences for the mission of the Catholic Church and, in a special way, for millions of members of Christ’s lay faithful who would serve in the Legion and for those who would be served by the legionary apostolate. Many persons outside the Catholic Church would also benefit from that apostolate. With the approval and support of the Popes and a great many Bishops, Priests and Religious, as well as the prayers and efforts of legionaries, the Legion, by the grace of God, has grown into a worldwide organization with several million members.
Drawing its inspiration from the True Devotion to Mary, as taught by St. Louis Marie de Montfort, and which had a profound influence on the Founder of the Legion, the Servant of God, Frank Duff, the Legion is at the disposal of the Bishops and Priests for use in the mission of the Church.
Weekly Praesidium
Every Wednesday, 1pm in Rm 4, Parish Hall
Everyone is welcome!

Who We Are
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. No work of charity is foreign to the Society. To quote our patron, St. Vincent de Paul, “Charity is infinitely inventive.”
