Daughters of the King

The Daughters of the King is a prayer group of women who pray daily for both parishioners and non-parishioners for whom prayers have been requested. Their prayer list is confidential and is not discussed outside of the membership. The Church's prayer list, published in the Sunday bulletin and in the parish newsletter, is also included in their prayers.

The Daughters go through discernment classes for an 8-week period before taking vows to pray daily.

Our parish has one of the largest chapters of the Daughters of the King in the diocese. The Bethesda Chapter (Good Shepherd) meets the second Sunday of each month from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. However, only members attend the meetings since the confidential prayer list is discussed and updated at each meeting.

The current president is Catherine Wall; the prayer chair is Janice Dunning.

Prayer requests can be given Janice or any Daughter at any time and she will get the request to the entire Chapter immediately. A confidential prayer request box is also located in the church narthex.
