Court Holy Rosary #1476 Catholic Daughters of the Americas

A Note from the Regent

I want to thank all of the ladies that came to the September Meeting. It was very productive. Please excuse any mistakes, I am still learning. I would also like to take a moment to thank all of our Committee Chairpersons. The Service that each of you provide is invaluable to the Court and we appreciate your dedication to ensuring that our programs are a success. With that being said, I challenge each and every one of you to get involved, even if that means simply coming back to the meetings. Come and enjoy the fellowship of your sisters in Christ. I cannot make this Court a success without your help. Together we can make this court a success.

For Everyday Blessings 

Dear God,

Open my eyes to the beauty of this day.

The yellow of an egg yolk in a blue bowl.

The scent of bacon frying in the pan.

The soft caress of the morning breeze.

The sound of children at play.

Awaken my senses.

Let me see, hear, and feel the beauty around me.

And be aware of the presence of the Great Artist in my everyday world.

- William Webber
