The Sodality, one of two religious organizations, promoted various projects to stimulate Catholic Action among the students. Mission days and stamp drives collected funds, food and clothing drives aided needy families at Thanksgiving, and tray favors brought Christmas cheer to Sisters at the Saint Mary's Infirmary. During the Lenten sea- son, the Sodality sponsored the Bishop's Relief Fund drive at the Academy. Within the school itself, the Sodality tried to intensify each student's spiritual life. Frequent Mass and Holy Communion are required of all Sodalists. In order to carry out the wishes of the late Pope Pius XII for greater participation in the Mass, the Sodality instituted the Missa Recitata and Missa Cantata for the while student body on First Fridays.
