SODALITY CDF Tl-TE IMMACLILATE HEART CDF MARY 44 FRANCIS MULLEN, Pre-TecT, '38 An ouTsTanding developmenT oT The pasT year, and one highly producTive Tor The TuTure, was The organizaTion oT our SodaliTy under The beauTiTul TiTle oT The lmmaculaTe l-learT oT Mary. Through The ardenT supervision oT Reverend Cornelius R. Vullings, M.S.C., DirecTor oT Re- ligion, our sodaliTy has been canonically esTablished by permission of MosT Reverend J. l-l. Conroy, Bishop oT Ogdensburg, and aTTiliaTion has been made wiTh The Prima Rrimaria oT Rome, lTaly. WiTh an organizaTion so empowered To imparT special graces, a greaT maioriTy oT sTudenTs eagerly responded To our call Tor members. Since our sodaliTy is under The paTronage oT The lmmaculaTe T-learT oT Mary, iT seemed TiTTing ThaT our TirsT solemn recepTion be held December 8, in our Academy chapel, where nineTy sTudenTs pledged Their TideliTy To The rules oT The organizaTion and received The sodaliTy medal. AnoTher recepTion was held March 25, The FeasT oT The AnnunciaTion. AT boTh oT These ceremonies The sTudenT body sang The Gregorian ChanT High Mass, and all received T-loly Communion. A spiriT oT enThusiasm has prevailed among our sodalisTs, malcing The organizaTion a viTal parT oT our school liTe. lT is a greaT Tield which admiTs oT many varying inTeresTs and our sTudenTs seem To have caughT The spiriT oT iT. Thus Tar, we have Tormed a Living Rosary CommiTTee, whose privi- lege iT is To promoTe devoTion To Mary, and To bring her more inTimaTely inTo The lives oT our sodalisTs, Through The reciTaTion oT The Rosary. RuTh Burns has been mosT zealous as Chairman oT This commiTTee. We Teei ThaT special graces have come inTo our lives Through The loving inTer- cession oT Mary lmmaculaTe. Qur l-Tome and Foreign Missions CommiTTee, under The leadership oT RoberT Lawrence, has made a very subsTanTial beginning. We hope ThaT The worlf oT This commiTTee will conTinue To grow as we realize how Truly a source oT blessing iT is To us. Indeed, iT is an honor and a privilege To be a member oT a SodaliTy which uniTes us in such an inTimaTe way wiTh our Lady, whose children we are in a very special manner. l would appeal To all TuTure Academy sTudenTs To enTer inTo SodaliTy acTiviTies wiTh hearT and soul and mind, Thus sTriving To aTTain iTs greaT aim-personal holiness and acTive CaTholiciTy.
