CIRCLE OF LOVE REPORTING INSPIRES OTHERS TO ACTION

The seven spokes of the CDA Circle of Love – Education, Family, Leadership, Legislation, Quality of Life, Spiritual Enhancement, and Youth/JCDA – are identified as important needs of the Church and community best served by the Catholic Daughters.  To effectively respond to these needs, we must reach out and make a difference in the lives of others.  When our courts plan, sponsor and conduct projects and activities serving these needs, we become the “hands and feet of Jesus” in our communities and the world.  We must use the talents God gave us, pray, educate ourselves, volunteer our services and financial assistance where needed. And we know that your members and courts are doing this is in many different ways.

As local courts, you are encouraged and asked to select those portions of the Circle of Love program that our members feel comfortable working on.  If you have many members, you may decide to participate in all spokes of the Circle of Love; if your court is smaller, you may choose just a few of these areas to support each year.  Either way, what you do does make a difference in your own court and in your community.  Won’t you share information on your most effective and rewarding projects by completing a Circle of Love Report on them?

Reporting on your Circle of Love projects is easy!

• Local Court identifies a Circle of Love Chair for each spoke supported by the court this year
• Court identifies which project/activity on which to report for each spoke of the Circle of Love in which they participated
• Local Circle of Love Chair obtains the Circle of Love Reporting Form from the Court Regent and completes and sends the report to the State Chair for that spoke by the deadline of March 1, 2024. (Note: Individuals participating in the THEMED Education Contest must submit their entries to your local Education Chair by February 1 so the chair has time to determine entries that will be sent on to the State Chair by the March 1 deadline.)

NOTE:  Local Circle of Love Chairs are asked to share their contact information (name, email, address, phone) with the State Circle of Love Chair who is guiding the spoke they will report on (State Chair’s contact information is on the Circle of Love Reporting Form)  By doing this, you can communicate easily and directly with the State Chair if you have any questions and when you submit your local report, and the State Chair can more easily keep you up to date with deadline reminders and tips for completing your report.

Find fulfillment as you complete your projects and inspire others by reporting on your activities!
