Organizations

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. 

They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” 

The CDA motto is “Unity and Charity.”  The CDA was formed over 100 years ago and today numbers 66,000 dues-paying members in 1,150 courts (local chapters) in 45 states across the country and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Kenya, and Peru.

Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other’s company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities.

Deeply spiritual, together they 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.

The program includes concerns of today’s church and society as well as issues that affect the well-being of women and children. 

If you would like more information or to join this active group in our parish, call or text Bev Kennedy at 605-677-7840.

As a not-for-profit fraternal benefit society, Catholic United Financial has a representative government made up of member Parish Volunteer Teams (PVTs) and Councils. These groups exist to promote and fulfill our mission through volunteerism and charity.

PVTs and Councils hold events to serve, celebrate and support religious education. Catholic United Financial provides added value to these events through our Member Engagement programs. Collectively, these groups have raised millions of dollars for their Catholic communities.  

Designed to bring motivated and passionate leaders together to support a common mission, our Parish Volunteer Teams provide opportunities to improve Catholic parishes, schools, and communities through sponsored activities and outreach.

Members that organize as an official Parish Volunteer Team are able to amplify their efforts through our  framework of fundraising, faith, service and support.

To become a member contact Angie Jorgensen at 605-660-5814.
