Our Two-Fold Purpose: Spirituality and Service
The integration of spirituality and service is the foundation of the Catholic Daughters. CDA helps wo
men develop their spirituality and provides avenues of service to live out that spirituality. The CDA gives members a unique opportunity to share their faith with other Catholic women. Helping others through charitable acts in the spirit of Jesus Christ is the heart of our organization. "Spirituality and Service": the heart and soul foundation of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. By definition, a circle is a curved line with every point equal distance from the point of the center and bound together by the common interest. The seven point program of the CIRCLE OF LOVE is bound together by the common interest - LOVE. The small heart in the center is taken from the logo of the HEART SPEAKS TO HEART program. By utilizing this portion of the logo and part of the Heart Speaks to Heart program that is compatible with the Circle of Love, a smooth transition occurs. The Cross and Crown in the center of the heart is the national symbol of the Order- the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. The seven points selected indicate the needs of the Church and community best served by the Catholic Daughters. The Seven Spokes are Spiritual Enhancement, Family, Legislation, Quality of Live, Youth/JCDA, Leadership, & Education.
