Daughters of the King

Fall Assembly

The Rose of Sharon Chapter of the Daughters of the King hosted the Fall Assembly at St. Albans' in Ft. Wayne, Indiana on October 18. The Rev. Daniel Layden, rector of St.Alban's, spoke in the morning about evangelism. During Mass our new banner was blessed by Fr. Layden. The beautiful quilted banner, made by the Rev. Tina Velthuizen, features a lighthouse—the symbol of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. Each chapter's name is written on the lighthouse. We are very grateful for her beautiful handiwork! The banner will be on display in Cathedral of St.James in South Bend, Indiana. Be sure to check it out next time you're there! After lunch, Susan O'Brien, Vice President of Province 5, spoke about "The Wonder of Being a Daughter." She led us through new ways to look at our prayer lives and different ways to serve the Lord. She also encouraged us all to become involved daughters beyond our own chapter.

A Prayer for the Order
O Eternal Father, you have sent us your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly Kingdom.
Give your blessing to our Order wherever it may be throughout the world.
Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life.
Give us strength to overcome temptation and the grace to work to spread your Kingdom
and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold.
Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit that we may always remember it is your work we are called to do, that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight. We ask it all For His Sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
