Catholic Daughters of the Americas Court Santa Sophia #2520: Projects

Projects

As Catholic Daughters, we are guided by the Circle of Love to help us serve the needs of the Church and community. Our court is blessed with many wonderful women that are willing to help with various charities and projects. Below is an update of our latest projects.

Serving Fish Dinners and Serving the Homeless

For the second year in a row, the CDA hosted the most well-attended and tastiest Lenten Fish Dinner this season! Thanks to Maria Elena Grimm's Fish Taco Recipe and the many volunteers, this event was a great success! CDA served Ensenada fish tacos with rice and beans, salad, nachos, a salsa bar and to top it off, a Mexican chocolate cake.

This year, we teamed up with the Interfaith Shelter at Santa Sophia and fed temporary residents during our dinner. Residents were delighted to have such a fantastic meal, hot and ready for them! We had more than enough to give them seconds and it was very much appreciated.

Thank you, Maria Elena for making this a great event again and to all the members who chopped, stirred, cleaned, baked, decorated and served with a great CDA smile!

Our Best Baby Shower Yet!

2010 was our most successful year for the CDA Catholic Charities Baby Shower. Court 2520 overwhelmingly responded to the call. A special thank you to all of you wonderful ladies for your generosity, especially since this is a financially difficult year for most families. It seems that in the midst of hard times we especially rise to the occasion. These special donations will be remembered and cherished by the mothers who are in need now more than ever.

Thank you to our co-chairs for this event, Anne Havin and Debbie Crutchfield! Without your leadership, our Circle of Love project for LIFE would not have been this successful!
