A child of the Sacred Heart looks to her spiritual and character development as well as her intellectual and social development. The Sodalities are groups organized to study, develop and increase the prayer life and character training of the members. Each group, though vitally important in itself, is a stepping stone to a fuller consecration and way of life. The first of the three Sodalities is the Aloysians. Members of this group place their efforts in the spiritual life in the hands of Saint Aloysius. They turn to him to learn the primary lesson of fidelity to duty. He becomes both helper and teacher, and under his patronage his outstanding virtues are studied and imitated. The next stepping stone is the Angel's Sodality. The Guardian Angels and all the Heavenly Court become the models and friends of this group. A deeper prayer life and a more intense character development is achieved under the Angel's guardianship. The Children of Mary, the ultimate goal of all the sodalities, aims at the growth of an interior life by prayer and imitation of Christ. A Child of Mary assumes the full responsibilities of a true daughter of Our Lady striving to lead a perfect Christian life. The privileged duties given her from her Mother's hands not only concern herself, but, are 'to make known to the world the immense love of the Heart of Jesus. 35

The Christopher Organization directs, encourages and helps each one to be a Christ-bearer in the world today. This year our special efforts have been centered on spreading the knowledge and love of the Sacred Heart through studying the encyclical and His Message of Love. Each one endeavored to know Christ better, to love Him more, to serve Him more fully, and to carry this love and knowledge to others in the form of service. The Christopher Groups carry on their work quietly, faithfully and devotedly. At the Christ Child Convalescent Home, Christophers work as receptionists, teach catechism and help entertain the children. At Christmas they give a traditional play and a gala party to bring these little ones closer to the Heart of the Infant Christ. Christophers interested in nursing offer their loving service as nurses' aides at Suburban Hospital. Their quiet and efficient accomplishment of small jobs frees the nurses for more important duties. ln the Catholic Co-operative Advisory Council, a city-wide organization, Christophers can help to spread the ideals of Catholic youth. Two representatives report in the Campus Crier' column of the Cath- olic Standard' each week about the activities at Stone Ridge. Devoted Christophers write letters, run errands and talk to the patients at the Home for lncurables each week. This loving service brings joy to the hearts of the sick and aged and carries on the tradition of Sacred Heart work in this home of charity. 'Die Social Group keeps the school informed on the importance of Christian ideals and principles in our social life. Treating the small orphans from St. Vincent's to an outing at the Zoo or an automobile ride enables Christophers to show these little ones the love of His Sacred Heart which overflows for all men. The Christophers in the Liturgical Choir sing in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in their hearts to the Lord.'
