Daughters of the King
St. Luke’s has an active and growing Daughters of the King chapter that offers healing prayer and anointing for congregants in the Centennial Room (at the rear of the Nave) every third Sunday during Communion at the 10:15 service and following the service. Our members also are involved individually in a variety of other parish ministries. Contact Chapter President Sandy Barrientos with any questions.
The Order of the Daughters of the King welcomes women and girls ages 7 to 107 who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters.
We are all at various stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun, and some have been on this path for a long time. No matter where we are in our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same: to know Jesus Christ and make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Order has both senior and junior chapters throughout the United States and around the world, in Episcopal churches and other denominations that are in Communion with the Episcopal Church.
Our Cross
At The Service of Admission, a new Daughter receives the cross of the Order as a mark of her membership. It is a modified Greek Fleury cross, inscribed in Latin, “Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine,” meaning “With heart, mind and spirit uphold and bear the cross.” At the base of the cross are the letters “FHS,” initials that stand for the Motto of the Order: “For His Sake.”
