Daughters of the King

Founded in 1885, The Order of the Daughters of the King is an order of women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the Historic Episcopate. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, each Daughter takes a lifetime vow to live by the Rule of the Order. Our Rule of Life and our vision of the Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world. A Daughter pledges herself to a life of prayer, service and evangelism, and she is dedicated to the spreading of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.

The Order of the Daughters of the King meets every third Sunday (11:30am) in Masterson Library located in Gregg Parish House. We invite all women of the parish to come as our guests. www.allsaints-austin.org/dokmeeting

Daughters of the King St. Catherine’s Chapter current officers are:
Susie Mallett, President
Patti Woolery-Price, Vice President

Hospitality: Heavenly Hosts

Heavenly Hosts Chairs:

Heavenly Hosts is All Saints’ lay hospitality ministry whose mission is to be a welcoming and gracious presence to all who enter our doors for both celebratory and funeral receptions. Its main purpose is to involve parishioners in the preparation and staffing of these receptions and is comprised of approximately 40 volunteers who help with setup, food preparation, serving, and cleanup.

St. Clare's Guild

We are a guild of needle workers who meet the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to noon in Masterson Library in conjunction with St. Monica's Guild. We knit, crochet, tat and sew to create prayer shawls, scarves, baptismal blankets, confirmand crosses, prayer monkeys, which are then presented at designated services for a special blessing. Folks also work on personal projects and enjoy the time chatting or seeking guidance on their art form. We welcome all who wish to participate in doing this work and will gladly help those who want to learn the fine art of needlework. Offers of yarn for blankets and fleece batting for stuffing sock monkeys are appreciated. Contact Sarah Peet at [email protected] for questions about projects.

St. Monica's Guild

This is a sewing group (hand or machine) that meets to work on personal projects or group endeavors and meet the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to noon in Masterson Library in conjunction with St. Clare's Guild. As quilts are completed they are blessed at the Altar during a Sunday worship service, and are then given to a charitable organization for distribution. Over the years, these have gone to Dell Children's Hospital, Breast Cancer Resource Center, Helping Hand Home, SAFE, Jeremiah Project and more. If you are interested in this ministry, contact Wini Wood at [email protected] for more information or the Zoom link.

St. Monica's recently completed quilts for two different receiving groups. Ten quilts are going to a newly opening therapeutic non-profit care home for children in the Lubbock, TX area. This new facility is designed for the needs of children from Child Protective Services aged six to eighteen.

Twenty one quilts are for the Austin Chapter of Jeremiah Project. This is a supportive housing program for single mothers and their children as they work on their personal plan to increase level of education for greater financial independence.

No experience is required, just the desire to help. You don't sew, but like geometry and color? Come help cut with a straight edge and rotary cutter. We'll find a way for you to participate. Previous projects have included no sew fleece blankets for distribution to homeless individuals, pillow case dresses for children living in orphanages in Africa. Bringing your own project to work on is welcome. Need coaching on a new or difficult project? Someone will have an idea.

We appreciate offers of cotton/high percentage cotton fabrics, thread, large remnants of flannel, fleece; maybe something else. Please email Wini [email protected] to discuss what you may have that needs a new home.
