Welcome!

CDA-#2679-900
note from regent
Welcome to our St Helena of the Cross #2679 Catholic Daughters of the Americas website. In this website we celebrate our sisters and in the events that they participate with their hard work. This year there have been the Breakfast for a Cause. The proceeds from these breakfasts are donated to the St Helena Church St Vincent de Paul which supplies food to the hungry of the area. We also donate proceeds to the Religious Education of the Parish. We provide money for the Guadalupe Home for expectant mothers.  
True to the CDA Circle of Love Quality of Life spoke, we provide a number of activities with the Heartland Senior Home. In addition to holiday activities for the seniors, the rosary is recited with residents every Wednesday for their spiritual enhancement. I might add that spiritual enhancement is a spoke to the Circle of love. Please see the “COMMITTEES” tab above for more information on the Circle of Love. Please click on the above tabs to also find recent activities under “NEWS”. JCDA activities under “JCDA”. There are also past photos of activities of our recent past under “GALLERY BLAST FROM THE PAST”
The topics that will dominate this year of our term as CDA officers are Circle of Love and Spirituality/Service. The year 2024 was our court’s 10th anniversary. The year 2025 will be an even better year.
The Circle of Love provides the CDA’s structure for assisting in church and community, participating in national programs that make a difference, working with youth and schools, making a difference in the lives of the elderly and aged, and promoting justice and equality in legislative issues through Operation Morning Star.
Spirituality and Service:  CDA has its own unique spirituality- its own way of approaching God in prayer and living out the Gospel through private prayer and works of justice and charity. 
As always, we pray for our church, our country, and for the sick and their families.
Youth/JCDA – Rosalie Reyes, Denise Beitel and Naomi Alvarez are sponsors for the JCDA. With our bulletin advertising we hope to invite more girls to the JCDA.
Thank you for visiting our website. We want you to know that we enjoy our roles as Catholic Daughters. We would like you to join us. God bless you and yours.
Your Sister in Christ
Shirley Black, Regent,
Court St Helena of the Cross #2679
