Organizations

Holy Cross Catholic Daughters Court #1598
Janice Tieman, 2016 Regent
Formed in 1903, 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 motto is “Unity and Charity.” 

Knights of Columbus
Mike Yeretsky, 2015 Grand Knight
The Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 to provide a means by which Catholic men could support the Catholic Church, provide financial protection to protect their families, and engage in works of charity to benefit the less fortunate. Today, its nearly 1.8 million members make up the largest Catholic lay organization in the world, its insurance program has $74 billion of life insurance in force, and last year Knights donated more than $150 million and volunteered 68 million hours of their time to charity. From helping children in need to providing wheelchairs for the physically disabled and support for the intellectually handicapped, from helping to stock food banks to offering top-rated and affordable life insurance to its members, the Knights has been at the service of the communities in which we live and the needy around the world for more than 127 years.

Mission San Luis Sociedades Guadalupanas
Dominga Rios
The object of the Guadalupana Society is to provide in its membership a deeper knowledge of their faith and the Doctrine of Church, a greater understanding of liturgical life, and a fervent devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe

ACTS Missions
ACTS retreats have enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people; men and women, teens and retirees, rich and poor, Catholic and non-Catholic, in the United States as well as other countries. It has reinvigorated the spiritual lives of individuals, of families, of entire parishes. Yet, 25 years ago, it did not even exist. The way this wonderful program came to be is a beautiful blend of the Holy Spirit and those who listen to His words -For more information about ACTS visit www.actsmissions.org or contact the rectory 361-564-5494 for more information.
