CDA INSTALLATION — On June 26, Catholic Daughters of the Americas St. Theresa of Avila Court
1955 in Gonzales hosted the installation of state and diocesan CDA officers for the 2010-2012 term.
Past and current state officers and more than 100 members attended the Induction Mass celebrated
by Father Gary Belsome, pastor of St. Theresa of Avila Church and CDA Court 1955 chaplain, and the
installation. After Mass, members attended workshops to learn more about their responsibilities as
CDA officers and members. Installed that day were officers for CDA Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Court
2331 of Denham Springs. They are, from left, Jennifer Veazey, treasurer; Peggy Cassidy, vice regent;
Sandi Ruttman, regent; Jane Collier, financial secretary; and Joanne Chiapetta, recording secretary.

There must be peace and understanding
sometime; Strong winds of promise that
will blow away the doubt and fear; If I can
dream of a warmer sun; Where hope keeps
shining on everyone; Tell me why, oh why,
oh why won’t that sun appear

Deep in my heart there’s a tremblin’ question; Still I am sure that the answer’s gonna
come somehow; Out there in the dark
there’s a beckoning candle yeah; And while
I can think while I can talk; While I can stand
while I can walk; While I can dream please
let my dream; Come true ... right now

We’re lost in a cloud; With too much rain;
We’re trapped in a world; That’s troubled
with pain; But as long as a man; Has the
strength to dream; He can redeem his soul
and fly

There must be lights burning brighter
somewhere; Got to be birds flying higher in
a sky more blue; If I can dream of a better
land; Where all my brothers walk hand in
hand; Tell me why, oh why, can’t my dream
come true; Oh why

BACK-TO-SCHOOL MASS – Fourth-graders Drue Alexander, left,
and Garrett Tassin listen to Father Gary Belsome, pastor of St.
Theresa of Avila Church in Gonzales, talk about counting their
blessings at the first Mass of this school year on Aug. 18. Each
year St. Theresa School chooses a theme to reinforce the teachings of Christ. This year’s theme, Count Your Blessings, is displayed in every classroom and will be incorporated into the curriculum and school activities. Photo by Janis Ament | St. Theresa of Avila School
