Dear CDA sisters!
I hope you are enjoying this spring time weather! Mother’s Day was beautiful. May God bless all you Mothers and let us remember our Patron Mother Mary too! We are so thankful for her YES to God, may she continue to intercede for us to the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit. Since we’re in the month of May, all our courts should be voting on their officers. THANK YOU to all that said YES to the call to leadership. WE NEED YOU to continue the good works of Catholic Daughters. Being an officer can be challenging & greatly rewarding; personally, as an officer, I have made some great friends from all over our state, country and Puerto Rico! Note: please make sure your Financial Secretary completes the new Officer Form and sends a copy to National, your state secretary, Erlinda Signo-Warren, and me.
Along those lines, the State Officers and our State Chaplain invite all members, especially our newly elected court officers to come to the Officer Training/Retreat that will be held in Pasco, July 11-14 at the Red Lion Inn.

Dear Catholic Daughters,
In our liturgical calendars, the Season of Easter is coming to a close and we will begin
the Ordinary Time of the year. We end the Easter Season with Jesus Christ's Ascension
into heaven where he sits with His Father at the right hand ruling the universe and our
lives. We will have experienced the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost which Jesus assured us would be
our Advocate, guide and helper throughout our lives. So, leaving Easter behind we move into Ordinary Time
where we attempt to live our faith life in conformity with Jesus Christ. It does not sound like a very exciting
time with regular routines, uneventful moments or dramatic happenings. Yet, Ordinary time is when we get to
put our commitment to Christ to work and demonstrate how we want to carry on the ministry of Jesus which
he left us at his Ascension. Armed with Christ's presence and graces and guided by the Holy Spirit, we will
have opportunities and challenges to test us and help us fulfill Christ's work. That is extraordinary in itself!
Jesus using me and you as His agent, an instrument to bring his message to the world, to my community, to
our families! But it will be in the ordinary, routine times that wonderful things will happen. Look how Jesus saw
the people who came to him were hungry. He took a couple loaves of bread and some fish and had a potluck
with food to spare. Think of the woman who was afflicted with a disease for many years. She thought to
herself if I can just touch the hem of his garment, I can be healed. She was. Look at Zacchaeus! He climbed a
tree just to see Jesus and found he had a conversion moment and a special guest for dinner. Remember how
the disciples fished all night and caught nothing yet Jesus told them to cast their net one more time. What did
they get?
We may be living in ordinary time but what and how might Jesus use the routine, ordinary things we do to
bring about blessings, moments of grace and wonders into our lives. Let us use this time to discover how
Jesus will do this for us.
God's blessings to each of you
