The Sodality organizes Catholics under our Lady's name and cultivates in them a deep devotedness, rev- erence , and filial love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sodalists strenuously endeavor, as far as their social conditions permit, to save and sanctify others. to defend the Church of Jesus Christ against the attacks of its enemies, and, by this means, to reach eternal union with Our Lord and His holy Mother.

Through guided parctice in apostolic activities, the Sodalists gradually learn to apply the techniques of group action to the social problems which confront them as students. In this way is developed an en- lightened and militant laity, capable of intelligent, determined leadership in our modern society. 3- fl, 55 1-i 'x Q fs w.'1's Z' YF' These students, with their chaperone, attended the S.S.

K, Students Demonstrate Devotion to Mary VWhat could be a more fitting way to show the devo- tion that St. Francis de Sales students have for the Blessed Mother of God than by a procession and crowning in her month of May? With all the ceremony and solemnity that goes with it, the students humbly pay their respect to Mary who has helped and guided them throughout the year.
