Dear Catholic Daughters of Court Mary Immaculate,
First, we would like to extend New Year greetings to all of our court, wishing you all a very happy, healthy and blessed New Year!
We are so thankful for our members who work tirelessly helping at all the different events throughout the year!
This year is a big deal!! It is our 70th Anniversary as a court! We are celebrating on January 24th with a special Mass and a beautiful reception and luncheon with a keynote speaker! You should have already received an invitation by mail or email. We look forward to seeing all of you there!!
Some of the upcoming events for 2026 besides our Anniversary party and our meetings on the 4th Mondays are the fish fry’s on all the Fridays during Lent at the Knights of Columbus, praying the Rosary every Monday via zoom at 6:30 pm, our new member tea, new member and milestone member reception, the crowning of Mary in May, rosary making, serving the homeless at Dallas Life Center, making baby caps for babies at Parkland hospital, attending the corporate Masses each month at the different parishes that we represent, and helping our JCDA court with some their projects. There is something for everyone!
We are looking forward to these upcoming events as we continue to foster unity and charity among our members and all who we serve.
We are excited to see what the future holds for our Court and we ask our Patroness, Blessed Mother Mary, to intercede on our behalf and guide us in all our endeavors.
We are praying for you, please pray for us!
Blessings,

Who We Are
Our History
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest
organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. The CDA motto is "Unity
and Charity". They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs
and strive "to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness".
The CDA was formed over 100 years ago in 1903 in Utica, NY and today's numbers are 75,000 members in 1,250 courts in 45 states across the country, and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Just recently, a new court was established in Kenya.
Deeply spiritual, the Catholic Daughter women 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.
