The court also purchased high chairs, strollers and car seats for the infant boy and girl. The young women receive more than just diapers and baby clothes: the dresser tells them that Catholic Daughters support them in their decision for life for years to come. www.catholicdaughters.org Court Shows Its Fashionable Side ourt Our Lady of the Americas, #2344, Washington, D.C., held its 17th annual fashion show in April.
