J Stephanie Arkatin, Sorlalily Pre er! The Sodality of the Immaculate Conception is primarily for the resident students who desire to be Sodalists while away from home. Day students are encouraged while in school to be members ot' their parish sodalities and both groups are urged to continue as Sodalists of Our Lady after Graduation. It has been the custom for several years to have a daily procession to the Grotto on the campus during the month of May. On Mothers Day we have the annual pilgrimage and May Crowning. Those who make this pilgrimage, fulfilling the usual requirements, may gain a plenary indulgence. The Marian Year of 1954 should see an increase in love for Mary. Perhaps the ancient love for the Mother of God in the Fast and the devotion shown to her in the West may be the way of uniting the members of the various rites of the Church more closely. ,JY f?'V' XLS i
