BOB GROSS Prefect FRED TOLLINI Prefect SODALITY His Holiness Pope Pius XII explicity approves the Sodality of Cur Lady, and wishes to see its genuine spirit flowering all over the Christian world. The new renaissance of this great apostolic group made itself gradually more visible in the Sodality's words and works during 1950-51. The noon rosary, revital- ized and spiritually enriched by the constant attend- ance of the rank and file, became something of daily tradition. The entertainments at San Francisco's var- ious hospitals recalled the ancient spirit of the Sodal- ity. The Christmas baskets to poor families—all these things bespoke of a spiritual vitality expressing itself in works of charity. And the Sodalists did not forget their prime pur- poses of personal and collective sanctity in the new surge of activities. Their quiet example and Chris- tian deed have had effect upon other Ignatians. Sodality activities during 1951 are evident signs of great things to come . The Ignatian tradition of a vigorous Sodality of Our Lady remains as solid as ever. First: Fcrcnz, Bacigalupi, McGrath, White, Tollini (Prefect l, Fr.

Every morning throughout the year the white-frocked mem- bers of the Sanctuary Society kneel before the altars of Saint Ignatius Church. Few Ignatians realize the patience and self- sacrifice that are required by the fidelity of Si's altar boys. Rising at an early hour, crossing sometimes half the city and often without breakfast, their daily fidelity brings secret bless- ings upon the labours and activities of their fellow Ignatians. Embarking last fall on its ninety-third year of service, the Sane looked forward to another ten months of daybreak Masses, liturgical services and Sanctuary shindigs . During the long and many years it has been recruiting members from the student body, the Sane has always been among the most popular of Si's traditions. As class after class joins the ranks of the alumni, the one badge of school service genuinely respected is that of mem- bership in the Saint John Berchman's Sanctuary Society. Although by constitution an elite corps of servers, the Sane provides hymnal distributors, choristers and ushers. Among 51 's illustrious members were Dennis Regan, Danny Collins, Jim Hal- ligan, et al. Able officers were Prefect Peter Kane, Vice-Prefect Paul Collins, Secretary Paul Wallace and Treasurer Don Rozzano. Motivated by the love of the Blessed Sacrament always char- acteristic of such a Society, the Sane continues to be what it has been, humble, efficient, sometimes a little late, but always sincere.
