St.
Mary's
Sodality
The Sodality is a group of Catholic women with
similar ideas, who are willing to work together in the service of Christ’s
Church and the world in every area of life – family, work, professional,
civil, and ecclesial. Each parish group is a community in Christ, a cell
in His mystical body, with the Holy Eucharist as its center and Mary as
its model. The aim of sodalists is to love Jesus and His Blessed Mother
through personal holiness, to love their neighbor through the work of
lay apostolate, make themselves Christ-like, spread the faith and defend
the Church. All members share responsibility for the welfare of their
particular Sodality. While authority is derived from its members, as defined
by our by-laws, the elected officers and the Moderator have the principle
responsibility for governing the group. The function of the officers is
to work together as a team, in close cooperation and love with the members,
for the common good of the parish and the community. The main objectives
of the Sodality are to promote the greater glory of Jesus through His
Blessed Mother, and provide a means through which the sodalists may speak
with a unified voice for the better understanding and appreciation of
the principles and ideas in the Christian faith, education, and civic
affairs in the world today. Special concern is given to the development
of the spirit of fellowship and the fostering of unity without destroying
diversity. The Sodality assists each individual member to fulfill her
personal vocation and to be an outstanding witness to Christ by her example
and the use of her energies and talents on behalf of the Church, the community,
and humanity.
