Priscilla Condon and The Rev. Martha Kreamer were co-mentors. The group begins each year in September, and welcomes the addition of new participants for the following academic year. For more information about this opportunity, please contact the church or vicar.

DOK[Daughters of the King] the Sister Lucy Chapter at Advent, was chartered March 31, 2006. Marilyn McGuane is chapter president. The Motto of the Order is: 

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?
