Today, more than 65 members still echo Mary’s “Yes” to assist the poor, feed the hungry, help clothe those in need, visit the sick, comfort the lonely, and bring Jesus’ joy and peace to the lives we touch. No specific demands are made upon individual members but there are many ways to be involved! These include attendance at Mass or a special liturgy, volunteering to assist with one of our programs, projects, or socials, or, if confined due to illness, joining her prayers with those of others. The “Tree of Life” gathers necessities for infants and children of young, struggling families aided by Catholic Charities. Donating children’s books at Christmas time to needy families through Catholic Charities and toiletries to Our Brother’s Table Shelter in Lynn during Lent are two other examples of our ministry. We also help serve collations at Parish celebrations. Cards are sent to those parishioners needing consolation or congratulations. Copies of the Parish Bulletin are mailed weekly to shut-ins to keep them informed of Parish liturgies and other events as well as weekly faith/scriptural reflections. Members visit those that are homebound at Easter and give each one a spring plant as a minder of the love and hope of our Risen Lord. Sodalists stand as an honor guard at the funerals of sister Sodalists. The membership dues are minimal but the blessings are great! In giving we receive and enjoy one another’s shared faith, fellowship, and devotion to the holy Mother of God. The Sodality motto, Ad Jesu per Mariam, says it all: “To Jesus through Mary”. Women of both parishes are welcome to become members and join in this wonderful ministry!
