Daughters of the King
1st and 3rd Fridays each month
2nd Saturday of the month
The
Order of the Daughters of the King is an international Order of laywomen who
are communicants of the Episcopal/Anglican church or churches in communion
with it. By reaffirmation of promises made during Holy Baptism and
Confirmation, a daughter pledges herself to a lifelong program of prayer,
service, and evangelism. She dedicates herself to the spreading of Christ’s
kingdom and strengthening the spiritual life of her parish. Members of the
order undertake a Rule of Life which incorporates the Rule of Prayer and Rule
of Service.
The
St. Jane Frances de Chantal chapter of St. Helena’s meets two Fridays a month
and one Saturday (for working members) to study and pray. They maintain a
confidential prayer list of requests received personally or by prayer card.
