Margaret Hosty * -Dallas

Margaret was a member of Court Mary Immaculate #1719. At the 1978 State Convention, she said that “the theme of the convention is a “Time to Remember, Time to Grow.” It is good to remember the past since there is much to learn from it, but then we should go on to bigger and better things.

Time to grow. This is the time in the history of the world to open our hearts and gather every Catholic woman into our ranks; this is the time the Church needs us, because the world is moving so fast and so many evils surround us that there is a greater need than ever before for good women who will fight these evils, and what better way is there than through the strong national Order of the Catholic Daughters.

We need to stop being the silent majority, voice our opinions, and let our legislators know that we oppose abortion, pornography which is degrading our youth, alcoholism and drug abuse which are destroying generations, and to speak out with a loud voice against these things we oppose.”

In 1980 Miss Margaret said, “Gratitude is the secret of CDA working together for the love of God and Country while assisting the needy, handicapped and the underprivileged throughout the world.”

At the end of her term, there were 133 courts with a membership of 14,534.
