Catholic Daughters lead Stations of Cross inside the church during Lent.
Court St. Joseph 1475 of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) gather on the second Monday of the month September to May for Mass at 6:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Center in Medway.
Often, a guest speaker gives an inspirational talk. We conduct internal court business and plan activities. The meetings end with a closing prayer. A typical year includes nine meetings.
Our court has been active since 1947 and welcomes all women 18 years of age or older.
