     Local courts participate in state wide activities and are also united with Catholic Daughters of the Americas with courts across the United States, its territories and international locations.
    From its beginning in 1903, Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) has grown and developed into one of the largest organization of Catholic women in the Americas, with over 63,000 members.    Under the patronage of the Blessed Mother, its members are united by their faith in Jesus Christ and their devotion to the Church and to the Holy See.
     The purposes of the organization are to participate in the religious, charitable and educational Apostolates of the Church.
     Open to Catholic women aged 18-108  members give time, talent, ideas, knowledge, dedication, and enthusiasm...  What do members get in return?  Our members receive spiritual enhancement, leadership skills, affirmation, community, broadened horizons, and a sense of accomplishment.
     We strive to be spirit-filled women who love Christ, His Church, our country, and all humanity.  Come and join us!  We are looking for women just like YOU!

CDA Motto...  Unity and Charity

CDA Mission: Catholic Daughters of the Americas strive to embrace the principle of faith working through love in the promotion of justice, equality, and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all. 

Richardson/Plano, TX  -- Established 1974

     Our Lady of the Snow court (chapter) is one of more than 250 Catholic Daughters of the America's local courts in the state of Texas alone, with members from St. Paul the Apostle and the surrounding parishes of St. Mark, All Saints and St. Joseph.  Activities are based on the Catholic Daughter's seven point Circle of Love (COL) program that focuses on Spiritual Enhancement, Youth, Education, Family, Leadership, Legislation, and Quality of Life.  These seven points indicate the needs of the Church and community best served by Catholic Daughters.  Activities from one or more of the seven points are planned by each court based on the desires and abilities of the court. 
     This court's recent COL Quality of Life activities have included working and donating to area food pantries, donating winter coats and scarves to an area clothing closet,  and financial support to projects listed on this page.  In addition to serving others, the court also focuses on the needs of its members and strives to create a small church unified in Jesus Christ. Recent Spiritual Enhancement activities have included a twice weekly online prayer circle, Advent and Lenten prayer services and monthly recitation of the rosary.  In the COL Family category, members and their family are provided with resources to strengthen faith within the family.   For COL Youth, the court sponsors a Junior Catholic Daughters court and awards scholarships annually to students attending area Catholic high schools.  The court contributes to the Youth Ministry programs at the four parishes that it serves.  At the end of each CDA year, the court shares its Circle of Love activities with other courts , culminating in either a National (even years) or Texas State (odd years) convention.  

Our Lady of the Snow is an affiliate member of the Dallas Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, (DDCCW), sharing in events and projects with women across North Texas.

The Court is always looking for Catholic women who have a desire to serve and grow in their faith.  Please contact any of the court's officers (officer contact info listed below) or fill out the simple online form below to attend a meeting or event,  learn more, and consider becoming a Catholic Daughter.
