Catholic Daughters

Formed more than 100 years ago, The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. The CDA motto is “Unity and Charity.” Members work together for their parish, donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” St. Edward’s CDA members meet monthly and host several events and activities throughout the year to help them fulfill the CDA Mission. To join, contact the Rectory. All are welcome.

Parish Purls

Volunteers come together to beautify our Church for various liturgies and services throughout the year, including Christmas and Easter. Helpers are always needed. If you want to become involved, leave your name and phone number in the Rectory.

St. Joseph's Prayer Group

The Holy Father in December had announced that 2021 is The Year of Saint Joseph. St. Joseph was a worker, devoted husband to Mary, a father figure to Jesus, and provides us with a great example of what a man should strive to be. Like Joseph, Sons and Fathers in Christ must always strive to deepen their faith in the Lord. Let us answer the call to prayer by coming together with total trust and faith by praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. The St. Joseph's Prayer Group is meeting every Thursday night, starting on February 18, 2021 at 8:00 pm in the Church. Prayer pamphlets for how to pray the Rosary and Divine Chaplet will be made available to everyone.
