The Catholic Daughters of the Americas held their National Convention in Minneapolis July 17-21

.
But there was no representation present from the Twin Cities!

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas pledged to take actions ranging from supporting U.S. troops and their families to assisting victims of human trafficking in resolutions approved during their biennial national convention in Minneapolis July 17-21. Nearly 900 members from local and state courts (chapters) in the United States and several other countries attended the meeting.

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas, formed in 1903, has about 90,000 members in 1,400 courts in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Viola Maehren of St. Paul used the occasion of the national convention to try to rouse interest in re-forming a local court that disbanded in 1998.

Maehren, 86, a member of St. Agnes Parish, told The Catholic Spirit, St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocesan newspaper, that Court St. Paul No. 542 was formed in 1924 and once had about 500 members from parishes across the St. Paul-Minneapolis area. It had to disband after three board members died "and no one wanted to take an office," she said.

Maehren said she had hoped to get the court re-established before the convention and wrote "at least 20 letters to various churches in the archdiocese, but I have had little success." Catholic OnLine
