circle of love

The image on the right is symbolic of our CIRCLE OF LOVE program. By
definition, a circle is a curved line with every point equal distance from the
point of the center and bound together by the common interest. The seven
point program of the CIRCLE OF LOVE is bound together by the common
interest - LOVE.
The small heart in the center is taken from the logo of the HEART SPEAKS
TO HEART program. By utilizing this portion of the logo and part of the
Heart Speaks to Heart program that is compatible with the Circle of Love, a
smooth transition occurs.
The Cross and Crown in the center of the heart is the national symbol of the Order- the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
The seven points selected indicate the needs of the Church and community best served by the Catholic Daughters. The program itemizes these needs with suggestions on how Catholic Daughters can effectively serve.
The "CIRCLE OF LOVE" program portions of this Web site are gathered to assist Catholic Daughters in working with the Church and community. We are indeed very aware of the needs in society that are deeply affecting today's generation, the elderly and human life. To be effective in promoting good works, we must reach out and make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering, whether it be through their own fault or the circumstances in which they find themselves. If we are to be "Jesus hands and feet" as is pledged in the Act of Consecration during the Installation Ceremony, then we must use the talents He gave us, become educated in new fields, volunteer our services and financial assistance where needed.
