CCA Vision:

The Catholic Cultural Association works to cultivate fertile soil in which the seeds of faith may grow and flourish. Through family support, strengthening community ties, and raising up a liturgical way of living, the CCA provides essential touch points so that families, tutors, and the greater community might labor together in raising up saints and scholars.

CCA Mission

The CCA strives to support Divine Mercy Academy in three distinct tiers - Familia and Familiae, Tutor’s Auxiliary, and Zelie and Louise Society - which were formed to create better connection between families, coordinate volunteers and fundraising efforts, and promote liturgical living.

Three Tiers

  1. Familia Familiae. Develop and support the DMA “family of families.”
  2. Tutor Auxiliary. Provide material and financial support to tutors, classrooms, and school at large.
  3. Zelie and Louis Society. Develop our Catholic culture.
