There are many Catholic organizations that serve the entire Diocese of Lubbock. All are welcoming to parishioners from Christ the King Cathedral.
Catholic Daughters of the Americas
Catholic Daughters strive to embrace the principle of faith, working through love in the promotion of justice, equality and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all. Members are encouraged to develop leadership skills, dedication and great enthusiasm for the work of Christ and His Church. Youth is an important part of our organization. The Junior Catholic Daughters is an opportunity for girls ages 6-18 to do something positive for themselves, live their faith, and develop character.
The organization that prays and works together, will grow together. Answer our Lord's call with faith, generosity and love by joining the Catholic Daughters of Americas. Contact Patty Marrufo, 441-6785.
