How to Start a Chapter

We are happy that you are interested in starting a senior or Junior Chapter of The Order of the Daughters of the King^®! Chapters are organized within parishes, missions and institutions. Upon receiving consent from the clergy, chaplain or bishop, a chapter may be organized with as few as three women communicants. 

Don't forget to request a free Charter Kit which includes the Application for a Charter, a copy of the current Royal Cross magazine, information and contact information for the Diocesan Assembly or Provincial President. Other necessary material, including the Chapter Manual, Study Guide, and a Leader’s Guide may be ordered or downloaded from this website. These documents will help you start and maintain a chapter.
