What is Circle of Love?
This image is symbolic of Catholic Daughters of the Americas' Circle of Love program. The seven point program of the Circle of Love is bound together by the common interest - LOVE - and indicates the needs of the Church and community best served by the Catholic Daughters.
Each year, Court St. Jane Frances de Chantal #2699 prayerfully discerns over our Circle of Love program and establishes goals for each of our service projects.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? James 2:14
