Dear Catholic Daughters of Court Mary Immaculate,
When I think about the past year, one word comes to mind: momentum. We’ve been moving forward—not just in building relations and milestones, but in the way we collaborate, innovate, and support one another.
Every great journey is marked by moments that define its course. More recently, we have experienced events such as the 70th Anniversary Celebration, participated in fundraising and community projects. Our shared success and determination turned challenges into opportunities and ideas into substantial results.
As we look ahead, I am excited about the possibilities of new ideas to increase our membership, increase volunteer participation, reacquaint relationships with existing parishes, yearly retreats, guest speakers, and continue with building a culture of faith, to promote the motto of “Unity and Charity”.
These possibilities to come will bring new ventures, deeper collaborations and opportunities to make a lasting impact for our court and communities we serve.
I encourage each of you to bring your ideas forward—because our future will be shaped by the vision and courage we share today.
Thank you for your dedication, your passion, and your belief in what we can achieve together. I am honored to lead this remarkable journey with you.
With optimism and gratitude,
Pat Brouwer
Court Mary Immaculate 1719 Regent
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.
