Strong Christian influence shapes young women Discussion of Christian qualities prompts YCS members to search themselves. Terminating the Advent season, Sodalists take part in a significant Light Service. Accepting the Gospel message as vital and relevant, YCS and Sodality concentrate on de- veloping young Christian leaders. Putting into practice their ideals and convictions, YCS peti- tioned North Vietnam for the humane treatment of prisoners and sponsored two YCS study days. Emphasizing Christ the Light, Sodality mem- bers ended the Advent season with a Light ser- vice and made Christmas remembrances for the elderly. Sharing ideas and ideals directs Sodal- ists toward a new meaning of prayer and com- munity living. Witty expressions animate members of Sodality group. While waiting for other members to arrive, YCS students enjoy a few moments of light talk.
