It is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church with an expanding number in our Diocese of more than 6000 now actively serving in their parishes, their homes, their workplaces, and at play. It's aim is to concentrate closely on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ, giving a living understanding of basic Christian truths and purpose in serving the Church. More than that, it provides a means of continuing the Christian formation which is begun in the three-day weekend. The weekend begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday afternoon.
Participants live and work together, listening to talks given by laypersons and priests.
They also attend worship services, receive Communion, and pray daily. The Order of Daughters of the King incorporates the rule of prayer and the rule of service. Before vows are taken, daughters complete a study guide which introduces each daughter to the origin, history and basic purpose of the Order. Daughters of the King wear silver crosses with the Inscription Magnanimiter Crucern Sustine, which means, with lofty mind, heart and spirit uphold and bear the cross. The Daughters of the King meet once a month, usually in the home of a member.
