Rosary Society members nourish their spiritual life through monthly reception of the Sacraments. Church organizations in the parish are numer- ousg they are of varied kinds ranging from those for youngsters to those for adults, from those purely spiritual in nature to those actively engaged in services of charity. Why have such groups? What is their value and the reason for their existence? The church societies are meant to benefit the individual members and the parish asawhole.

The prayers, retreats, group reception of the Sacra- ments, participation in church services are all potent helps towards the attainment of this goal. Realizing that man is a social being, these groups provide members and others with forms of recrea- tion while at the same time materially aiding the -parish in its task of maintenance. Dances, bingos, luncheons, are but few such activities. We gratefully acknowledge spiritual and tempo- ral aid showered on us during the years spent in school. In time to come we plan to assume and perform duties as members of church organiza- tions. .pl
