  "You, as women, have your own gift to offer to the Church - a gift that is very precious and much needed."
  Joseph Cardinal Bernadin Former Archbishop of Chicage and Episcopal Advisor to the Daughters of Isabella
  
  DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA
  
  The first circle of the Order was founded in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1897, as an auxiliary to the Rev. John Russell Council of the Knights of Columbus for the purpose of uniting all Catholic women in a sisterhood to achieve the following aims:
  

  To know one another better
  To extend our circle of friends
  To centralize all our resources to better help one another
  To be a greater force to contend with in the pursuit of good in our society
  
  Today, it is one of the largest Catholic women's organizations, with a membership of over 60,000 women from the United States and Canada and has continued to prosper and establish bonds among Catholic women throughout the world.
  
  Members encourage each other's total development and foster growth of every aspect of life - spiritual, social and charitable - adding up to a more fulfilling life!
