Massachusetts Catholic Daughters of the Americas

A message from our State Regent:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Phil 4:13

Dear fellow CDA Sisters, Chaplains, Spiritual Advisors and friends:
Welcome to the Massachusetts Catholic Daughters of the Americas!  I am so excited to be your Regent for the 2023-2025 term.  State Regent was not something I was considering even running for, but I sure did hear God talking to me that weekend.  As most of you know, I was previously the State Secretary, but the office for Regent was vacant going into our 53rd State Convention in April 2023.  I was approached by our sweet National Director Brenda Anderson, asking me if I would consider running for office of Regent.  Most recently, I have been going through a program at work (Ambassador and Executive Committee for the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association - HBA) and I stepped up as Chair of the group to run our meetings and keep everything in order.  (This program is structured to lift up and empower women in the workplace and help achieve personal work goals.)

As soon as Brenda approached me, I heard a RESOUNDING YES from God in my heart, but I was scared.  Could I run the whole State and keep everything in order?  Do I have what it takes?  Can little me do this?  As I continued to talk to Brenda, she (and God) assured me I could, especially because I was not alone.  I have all of YOU!  And I was already being prepared by being the Chair HBA at work to help me in this.  So, here we are today, and I am happy to be your Regent.  My board already has so many fun and spiritual ideas to bring you.  Thank you for supporting and encouraging me. 

We will continue to use the previous mission statement of  "Serving the Lord through our Faith, Actions & Love” as it is the epitome of what we are.  I look forward to serving you all as Regent of the MA State CDA.
 
In Unity and Charity,
Jenn Pacheco, State Regent
