The St. Brigid Chapter of the Daughters of the King

The Daughters of the King is an Order for women in the Episcopal Church with Chapters in the Roman Catholic Church and in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Daughters are dedicated to prayer and service For Christ's Sake.

Who We Are

The Daughters of the King is an Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, or churches in communion with it, or churches who are in the Historic Episcopate. Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.  Our Chapter was chartered March 17, 2002.

Purpose of the Order

"The object of this Order shall be the extension of Christ's Kingdom through Prayer, Service, and Evangelism."

About The Cross

The emblem of the Order is a silver Greek Cross Fleury inscribed, Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine, the watchword of the Order, meaning "With heart, mind and spirit uphold and bear the cross." At the base of the cross are letters "FHS", initials for the Motto of the Order: "For His Sake". The cross is customarily worn on the left side over the heart, or it may be worn on a silver chain around the neck, but it is never to be worn simply as an ornament. Only a member in good standing may wear the cross of the Order, which remains the property of the Order. When a member dies it may be buried with her; otherwise it must be returned to our National.

The Motto of the Order

For His Sake...
I am but one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do.
What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.
Lord, what will you have me do?
