Sodality Notes
We are glad to tell old Sodalists that all
goes well in the Sodality. As in other years
we have a number of Sixth Year boys who
have made a perpetual consecration to Our
Lady in the Sodality, and many in Fifth
Year who have joined for one year. We meet
weekly in the East Room, and in our discussions
we try to clarify our ideas on
prayer, personal holiness, and personal
responsibility. There is however one problem
which seems to be peculiar to our type
of Sodality. We received a letter early this
year from another Boarding-School Sodality,
seeking information and advice about external
work. This lack of external apostolic
activity is a problem which confronts all
boarding-school Sodalities.
The school time-table, the distance from
towns makes actual apostolic work difficult.
If any of you have any suggestions to make
on this matter we would be very glad to
hear from you. For some little time we did
send Sodalists to do work for the Little
Sisters of the Assumption, but that lasted
too short a time. External work can be
challenging and is always helpful towards
increasing apostolic Spirit.
