Our Court
JCDA Court Rita #264 at St. Marianne Cope Parish has grown tremendously the past few years. We currently have 18 members, and are always eager for more. Our events include the July 4th Pet Show, CDA’s Tricky Tray, blanket drives, costume drives, spiritual adoption programs, fundraising, Newburgh Ministry volunteering, holy hours, and much more! We have also received national recognition, the National Circle of Love Award, in 2019 for fundraising the building and electrification of a well in Ghana.
