Jesus calls us to be disciples of Christ and to use our time, talent, and treasure in blessing others for the Glory of God. Organized in 1903, Catholic Daughters of the Americas is a group of women united in Christ’s teachings to carry out His work through projects of charity in our world. Our local court, Our Lady of Peace #2728, was organized in January of 2017 and currently has 31 members. Together, we work diligently to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. We respond to Christ’s call to always grow spiritually through charity and unity.Today, we celebrate CDA Sunday along with over 1200 Courts and more than 50,000 members united for the same purpose. Our National Projects include Habitat for Humanity, Holy Cross Family Ministries, The Laboure’ Society, SOAR, and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. National Charities include Catholic Relief Services, Missionaries of Charity, Disaster Relief, and Human Life International, just to name a few.Our state and local charities include Canine Companions for Life, a Colorado based charity providing service dogs to those in need, One Nation Walking Together, a charity which provides food and clothing to the poorest of the poor residing on local Native American reservations, and the Seminary Burse, providing monetary support to Colorado’s seminarians. In our parish, we provide needed toiletries and sundries for the homeless in the Cripple Creek area, make and distribute free rosaries, provide breakfast after the children’s summer play, as well as organizing the Giving Trees at Our Lady of the Woods and St. Peter’s Chapel. For the past 2 years, we have sponsored a Spiritual Retreat for the women of the parish.We invite all Catholic women in good faith to support us in our cause both nationally and locally. We encourage you to join us at any of our court meetings on the second Tuesday of the month.
