Catholic Daughters of the Americas: Immaculate Conception Court #322

Our Bismarck Catholic Daughters court was started in 1917 and is named for the Immaculate Conception of Mary.  Throughout the years women from the Catholic parishes in Bismarck, Menoken, and Mandan have been coming together to pray, volunteer, educate, and serve in our community. What specifically do the catholic daughters do? We volunteer at parish events. We run service projects. We educate our community on local, state, and national legislation to promote catholic values. Most importantly we pray together. Many of our events involve attending Mass, adoration, and reconciliation. We begin each or our monthly meetings with the rosary and hold a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you see us at your parish, please come say hello! (We’ll likely be the ladies wearing purple and sporting CDA badges) We love to meet other catholic ladies and promote the love of Christ wherever we go!
