2019 STATE CONVENTION: Chamberlain, SD
Because our State membership has fallen over 1000 in the past 20 years and 125 just since the 2017 conventions, State Regent Brenda Anderson asks all members to pray this Membership prayer daily. We need to pray not only for new members, but also for New Courts throughout South Dakota. The delegates present discussed areas that new courts need to be started. With prayers and the challenge to start new courts, we are asked share our faith through membership with all Catholic women. Take this prayer out and say it daily and don’t be afraid to share your spirituality with Unity and Charity.
CDA Membership Prayer
Remember us, O Dearest Mary, Our Mother and Patroness of Catholic Daughters. We offer you our works, joys and trials. We ask your intercession as we reach out to women with love and enthusiastic invitations to increase our membership. Help us, O Most Holy Virgin, to be faithful to your rosary, for peace in our homes, our nation and the world. We ask you to bless and protect our families and guide the unity and charity we do for our Circle of Love. We ask this through your name. Amen.
