🍂 Fall Assembly & Celebrations
The beautiful season of Fall is upon us, and with it come our cherished celebrations leading into Christmas. Join us for our in-person Fall Assembly hosted by the Santa Maria Chapter on:
📅 Date: November 1st, All Saints’ Day 📍 Location: All Saints Church, 144 S C Street, Oxnard
This day marks our Corporate Day of Worship, where we honor the communion of saints—faithful believers, living and deceased, united in Christ.
We especially welcome Spanish-speaking women interested in learning more about the Order, as we will also celebrate El DĂa de los Muertos. You’re encouraged to bring photos of loved ones to place on the Ofrenda in remembrance.
👉 Please register today to join us in this meaningful celebration.
đź“š Diocesan-Wide DOK Book Club
We’re excited to launch our Diocesan-wide DOK Book Club! Our first selection is:
Book: An Unlikely Advent by Rachel Billups Discussion Date: Sunday, November 23rd at 1 PM Location: Zoom (link will be emailed)
This short but powerful book is a perfect read as we enter the Advent season. We hope you’ll join us for thoughtful discussion and fellowship.
đź’Ľ Chapter Financial Reports
To maintain our Order’s non-profit status, all chapters must submit a financial report to National by October 31st each year—even if there are no finances to report.
National has simplified the process with an online form available at :
1. Go to Resources in the drop-down menu
2. Navigate to The Officer’s Corner
3. Select Treasurer’s Resources → Annual Financial Reports → Chapter Annual Financial Report
If you need assistance, please contact our Treasurer, Amy Givan, at AmyGivan1@gmail.com.
đź•Š In Loving Memory: Alice Sorell-Thompson
We are saddened to share the passing of our beloved 1st Vice President, Alice Sorell-Thompson, who departed on August 9th. Her unwavering dedication and grace touched countless lives within our Order.
A Celebration of Life and Remembrance will be held on: 📅 Saturday, October 25th at 9 AM 📍 St. John’s Church, Los Angeles
We invite all Daughters to attend and honor Alice’s legacy. A collection will be taken at the service to assist her family during this time of loss.
❤️ Looking Ahead
We look forward to seeing you in Oxnard this November for our Fall Assembly. Gathering in person is always a delight and a blessing.
Blessings and fHs,
Sheila
