Charitable Projects
LifeSaver Project
The State LifeSaver Project takes place in April with collections from the Council Bluffs all area parishes. 50% of the collected donations stay local to support the good works of the Catholic Charities Domestic Violence Shelter. 50% goes to the Diocese for other domestic violence shelters and prevention programs. Some of that may also return to our local shelter.
Court Supports Parish RCIA Programs
In the fall of 2010 our court chose to annually support our local parish RCIA programs by purchasing Bibles for each adult studying to become Catholic. A special note is attached in each Bible wishing God’s blessing from Catholic Daughters Court St. Anthony #330. Each year the gifts may vary.
Court Supports Parish First Communion Programs
As one of our court’s youth programs, we designate funds in our budget to donate to the five local parishes for their First Communion programs. It is our hope that contributing to First Communion programs will show these students how important we believe this time is for them and how we join in their celebration! God bless them all!
Court Supports Parish Confirmation Students
The Court provides an adult coloring book of Bible Verses or inspirational Bible based messages, or some such item. Inside the book is a bookplate congratulating the child on their accomplishment and blessing them with prayers from Court #330 of Council Bluffs.
