Church were received into the Sodality of Our Lady. Led by the Prefect and Vice-Prefect who bore candles, the candidates entered the church singing hymns to the Virgin Mary.

Rev. Father Anthony G. DeLuca, assistant pastor at the Immaculate Conception in Washington, delivered the sermon. He spoke of a beautiful Spanish legend which could be applied to the group being received. In a Spanish town where Mary was specially venerated, many miracles had been wrought.

But during the ravages of war, the hands of the statue of tbc Blessed Modanna were destroyed. Legend has it that if anyone with a pure and sinless heart would offer Mary his hands, many miracles would again be brought about. Many have offered their hands, but none have been found to be truly pure and stainless. So, in our times, Father DeLuca stated, when there is so much moral corruption and sinfulness, each individual Sodalist can do much if she will faithfully keep the promise taken when entering the Sodality and if she will be always mindful of her Act of Consecration. With Rev.

Father Anthony G. Bosco, Spiritual director, officiating, the girls repeated vows that CHILD STUDY GROUP HEARS INTERESTING TALKS BY GUESTS Valentine appointments were used Tuesday evening when Mrs. Michael Tomsic, Houston, was hostess to the Houston-Moninger Child Study group at her home with Mrs. Thomas Watters as co-hostess.
