The Daughters of Ascension and St. Mark's was instituted in July, 2003. In 2007, the group changed its name to honor St. Lucy (Lucia), the patron saint of light and of the blind. This name also memorializes of one of our original Daughters, Lucy Schunter, who was passionate about living long enough to be inducted into our new DOK chapter.

St. Lucy
Prayer: Saint Lucy, you did not hide your light under a basket, but let it shine for the whole world, for all the centuries to see. We may not suffer torture in our lives the way you did, but we are still called to let the light of our Christianity illumine our daily lives. Please help us to have the courage to bring our Christianity into our work, our recreation, our relationships, our conversation -- every corner of our day. Amen
