Circle of Love
is a seven-point program bound together by the common interest of LOVE
and indicates how Catholic Daughters can serve the Church and their community.
If we are to be "Jesus’ hands and feet"
as is pledged in the Act of Consecration during the Installation Ceremony,
then, we must use the talents He gave us, become educated in new fields,
volunteer our services, and financial assistance where needed.
Family gives Courts the opportunity to continue strengthening home life by offering programs or activities that assist and support the family - praying, working, and playing together.
Projects may include:
movie night, Sunday dinners, game night, picnic, date night, family pilgrimage, serving meals.
The key ingredient which significantly impacts teh long term sucess of our organization is Education.
