CDA Mass Cards

Masses will be said in the diocese of Victoria, Texas, on the first Friday of the month, for one year, by the Catholic Daughters of the Americas' current State Chaplain, Bishop Brendan J. Cahill. A donation of $3 is requested. Masses will not be celebrated at St. Michael and should not be confused with our parish Mass cards. Please call Dotty Vanicek at 817.805.1018 and arrangements will be made to deliver the cards to you. The funds collected are used to award scholarships to graduating seniors who are either JCDA or related to CDA members.

Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) are hosting monthly meetings to make rosaries to donate.

The next meeting is Saturday, April 5, 9:15 AM to Noon.

We welcome all who would enjoy fellowship and learning to make rosaries. You do not have to be a member of CDA to attend. We do ask that you click HERE to RSVP for the event. If you have any questions or need additional information, contact Chris at 817.925.4542 or at chrisdelmolino@gmail.com.

Broken Rosary?

If you have an old or broken rosary, or a rosary you no longer use, and you don't know what to do with it, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) Rosary Ministry will use your old rosary to make new rosaries from the beads, the medals, and the crucifixes. Just put them in the rosary donation box, on the round table in the Narthex, and we will treat your rosary with reverence and care.
