At our recent Sodality meeting, we mentioned that it had been TOO long since we posted anything here. And we also discussed the book The Imitation of Mary, by Thomas a Kempis. So ... for at least a quick attempt to update the blog, here is an online source for that great text.

Maybe some of you will find it a helpful resource. The St. Ignatius Library here in Spokane also has at least one copy!
It has been way too long since we've posted anything on this blog...SORRY! But, with our new year starting, we have a few things to share...and we hope to be better in the year ahead! We are excited to have 7 new members join us ... ceremonies will be held in November.
And this last batch of photos are from our outing to Montana in September...
The combined Sodalities at St. Michaels held a special event in May, to help honor Our Lady and add beauty to her Rosary Path. We purchased 3 different types of flowers and planters, planted them, and put one by each of the 15 pillars for the mysteries of the rosary! They look beautiful. And, so far ... 2 weeks out ... the deer have not eaten them! We hope that continues!''
Dear Fellow Sodalists,
Praised be Jesus and Mary! Since the Sisters will be leaving before First Saturday in June, Most Holy Rosary Sodality had their last meeting today by having a little Marian Tea Party. Enjoying cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa, Sr. Mary Teresita, Tammy Bird, and her daughters went over the highlights of this year, and things to keep in mind for the Summer. We greet all of you other sodalists throughout the country as you finish off the school year and get ready for vacation as well. God bless you!

The greatest mysteries of our Faith occurred on the first Good Friday and Easter Sunday. At St. Michael's, these two feasts are opportunities for our Sodalists to work for the parish ... especially for the moms and children. We once again hosted the annual Good Friday Children's Program, and the Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday. These two events have a tradition of nearly 50 years in our parish, and despite being a lot of work for the Sodalists, are a joy for the children and much appreciated by our pastor and the children's parents...a real labor of love for our members!
During Lent, we were able to gather for an afternoon/evening of retreat. Starting after school we had shared spiritual reading, Stations of the Cross and the Chaplet of Our Sorrowful Mother, quiet time in chapel and outside, and finished up with a pizza dinner. Everyone agreed it was a great opportunity to reflect and prepare for the last weeks of Lent in union with Our Lady~
