Junior Sodality

Junior Sodality is an organization for girls grades 6th-8th who wish to practice the principles of being good Catholics and have a deeper devotion to Jesus through Mary. As Junior Sodalists, the girls will have opportunities to grow spiritually, be of service to our parish and community, and meet new friends.

Essay Question: Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself."  Does that mean you have to like everyone you know?  How can you love your neighbor if you don't like him or her, or you disagree with him or her on a fundamental issue or if they choose to live their life in a way far different from how you choose to live yours?
