Dear Members, Officers, Bobbie, Fr. Peter and Friends,

From the Regent

The month of March is dedicated to St. Joseph. The entire month falls during the liturgical season of Lent which is represented by the liturgical color purple — a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow of a contrite heart.

“The Lord has put his faithful servant in charge of his household.”

Prayer Corner

Let us keep all of our CDA members and their families facing health issues as well as those who have gone home to Our Lord in our prayers. We pray for all those who are serving in our Military for a safe return home.

We keep the special intention from State Regent Trisha McShane in our hearts and pray for all Vocations. We need these special men and women to help guide us on our spiritual paths of life.

God Bless In Christ,

Kim, Alicia, Mary S., Bobbi, Fr. Peter and I,

Jennifer Shea
