IT TOLLS FOR YOU POPE
JOHN XXIII
St. Ceciliavs Cathedral (Omaha. Nebraska
The tolling of the bronze bells
announced the entrance of Pope John XXIII to the massive sanctuary of St. Peter's Basilica. They reverberated across the snowy Alps, the arid Sahara, the stormyAtlantic. and the strife-torn Middle East, bringing cardinals and bishops of every color and country. They rang for unity, hope, peace, and prayers.
They announced the beginning of the Second Vatican Council. But the call of the bells does not stop in the ears of the bishop. Rather it is reechoed and amplified from every pulpit in every Catholic community and city. The call is to you. The sound is struck for you to pray. to learn, to live as a Catholic Did you - did we - answer the __.._.: call. realizing that the bells toll for us? To answer "Did we at Notre Dame?" we have prepared this book.

What is Sodality? Who is a Sodalist? These questions face every new probationist, who must seek his own answer in trying to understand Sodality living. Certain obligations bind the Sodalist; but only to help him fulfill the obligations of his Baptism and Confirmation, only to help him realize the goal of living the Christian
vocation. The essence of Sodality living, however, is the explicit commitment to live a devout Christian life and to exercise influence on the social order. Christ ordained the lay apostolate when he sent forth the '72 disciples to convert the world. In the Sodality every lay apostle makes a commitment of self to Mary - making ourselves her sons totally, just as Christ did. Our Sodality, and all Sodalities, are the Marys of world history. continuing the course of salvation through the Mystical Body, bringing forth Christ to the world just as Mary did.
This year a series of guest speakers addressed the girls to inform them of different phases of the apostolate that would be practical for them to work with after graduation. In October Mrs. Frank Synskie spoke about the Grail movement in which she was an active member for several years. Other visitors have been Miss Pat Hyde from the PAVLA training program and Miss Elaine Bartek from the Archdiocesan
Social Action Office.

YCS Notre Dame harkened to the Pope's plea for apostolic action this year and introduced the Young Christian Student movement with the help and guid-
ance of Father James Stewart. YCS was first exposed to the students at a series of panel discussions which related the meaning, purpose, and nature of the layman's role. Shortly afterwards. an election of officers resulted with: Gerry Wasinger. Pres. Cathie Chase, Vice-Pres. ; Mary Ann Hunt, Sec. -Treas.

Reading and n time between
Egetmeat Besides giving us food for thought, the
retreat master also gave many practical re-
minders to help us really live our religion; for example, becoming more aware of the significance of a simple act such as, making the sign of the cross or a genuflection with the perfection due God. By attending to details we will become closer to God and thus know Him better. As Father expressed it so well: "One must know in order to love; one must love in order to know. "
The highlight of each day of the retreat: Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Betty Dogoda, Shirley Gredys and Rosie Davis make good use of the senior sodalists' reading room during the retreat.
Reading and meditation occupies the
time between conferences.

On May 3, Mary's banner leads the student body into the chapel for the most beautiful ceremony of the year. Going to "Our Lady's" school we feel we have her special love and protection, and so at this time we like to show devotion and dependence on her, united together in an external manner. As the crown is placed on her head we acknowledge Mary again as Queen of our hopes . .. our hearts . . . our lives.
