Sodality
“Sodality (Roman Catholic Church) - A lay society for religious and charitable purposes.”
In July 1910, Monsignor Thomas G. Smyth asked two women to care for a little mission church on Chevy Chase Parkway and to prepare its small sanctuary for the celebration of Mass on Sunday morning. With this simple request he began a long and proud tradition which continues today in the organization known as the “Blessed Sacrament Sanctuary Sodality”. For nearly 100 years, there have been committed sodalists readying the Sanctuary for the weekend’s eight Masses, funerals, weddings and baptisms. The Sanctuary Sodality is, first and foremost, a society of women dedicated to fostering Marian virtue in daily life. The learn more about the Sodality, read through the handbook.
“When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” Reflection by sodalist Chris Butler
