THE SODALITY BETTY LAPP o F F IC E R s BETTY LAPP ................................... President CATHERINE OtBOYLE ----------------------- VicexPresident MARY JANE CULLEN Secretary DOROTHY MANSKE ............................ Treasurer The whisper of soft music, an act of consecration, a pure white rose in offering, and the most beautiful day in the life of every Sodalist is solemnized. This scene on the eighth of December is the very symbole ism 0f the ideals of the Sodality which stands for devotion and loyalty to Mary, the Queen of Mothers. The new member begins her life in the Sodality as she enters the chapel. Humbly beseeching her Holy Mother to aid her as she walks along lifets highway, she receives her Lord in the Eucharist. A sudden change of scene and we see the Sodalists in the dining room partaking of a delicious breakfast. Through the words of Father Donnelly, Mother Imelda, and the prefect of the Sodality, the new members truly realize and appreCr iate the honor about to be conferred upon them. A solemn march to the Chapel, a prayer for assistance, and the Socialist consecrates herself to all the ideals of her Pro; tector, Mary. With Benediction and a swelling Te Deum, this day of days, the event of her reception into the Sodality comes to an end. Everything it symbolizes, however, lives in her heart throughout her life.
