Catholic Daughters of the Americas strives to embrace the principle of faith working through love in the promotion of justice, equality, and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all. Catholic Daughters provide contemporary programs that cover a vast scope of activities beginning at the parish level and expanding into all concerns of today's church and society. Catholic Daughters enjoy each other’s company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities. Together they share faith and 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.

• Provide educational programs and student scholarships.

• Support various charities and Holy Name Parish.

• Host Parish Receptions Ordinations, Farewells & the Parish Feast Day.
