It is with great sadness and shock I pass this information on -
Our State Webmaster, Chris Peiffer has left our earthly world and will have funeral arrangements with a CDA Rosary at 2:00 pm Sunday and a Mass on Monday at 11:00 am in Washington, IA. (March 9,10, 2025)
If you are not able to be present, I ask all sisters to pray a rosary for our sister, Chris or offer a Mass.
Thank you Chris for your dedication to the Iowa CDA website and your writings in the VOICE.
To say you will be missed, is an understatement.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
"Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord; and let the perpetual light shine upon her.”
State Regent - Iowa Suzanne Torrey

Father Carl Schmitt who served with Past State Regent Rose Holschlag has gone to eternal rest - pray for him.
*We pray for the poor, the homeless, the suffering that God will show them mercy.
*We pray for our diocesan seminarians and all religious.
*We pray for the safety of our military, police, firefighters, EMTs and medical personnel.
*We pray for the end of all wars and for peace across the globe.
*We pray for the repose of the souls of all Catholic Daughter who have gone before us.
Thank you CDA Prayer Warriors!
SPRING ETERNAL!
