The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs, and strive to be "helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow, or sickness". The CDA was formed over 100 years ago and today numbers 66,000 dues paying members in 1,150 chapters in 45 states across the country and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Kenya, and Peru.
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Father Raphael #1542, serves Eastern Wayne County in Pennsylvania and Western Sullivan County in New York. The Court meets every second Tuesday of the month at 1:00pm at St. Francis Xavier Church, in Narrowsburg.
