A Message from the Diocesan President
Dear Sisters in Christ,
Christ is risen! I pray you have had a blessed year and were able to celebrate our risen Lord with loved ones this Easter season. As we move into spring, we are happy to share several opportunities for connection, learning, and fellowship in the months ahead.
Spring Assembly — May 2
Friday, May 2 · On Zoom
Our Spring Assembly will feature The Rev. Jane Tomaine, author of St. Benedict’s Toolbox.
Presentation:
Leaning on God: Benedictine Practices for Troubled Times
Because our Spring Assembly is held on Zoom, chapters are encouraged to host a watch party.
This year we are excited to offer a new registration option:
- Register a watch party for $100
- Partner with a nearby chapter for an even greater value
Please visit the registration link for complete details.

Triennial 2027 — Phoenix, Arizona
July 7–11, 2027
Triennial 2027 will be held in Phoenix, AZ, and because it is in our Province, we encourage strong participation from our Diocese. Triennial is a highlight for many Daughters — offering inspiring speakers, enriching workshops, and the joy of gathering with Daughters from across the country and around the world.
Each chapter is entitled to one seat, one vote, and one voice through its delegate. Please consider having your chapter represented by your President or another officer.
Registration opens January 2027. Early registration is encouraged, as workshops fill quickly.
Stay Connected
We encourage you to visit our websites regularly:

Chapter Presidents are automatically members of the Diocesan DOK Board and are encouraged to attend. If the President is unavailable, please send an alternate representative. Meetings are designed to last one hour and include:
- brief chapter check‑ins
- a Leadership Activity
- a devotional from our Chaplain, The Rev. Norma Guerra
It is always a joy to gather, share resources, and hear your ideas on how we can better serve our Daughters and chapters.
God’s blessing and peace to you,
Faithfully His,
Sheila Lowerre
Diocesan President
