Sodality of Our Lady
The Sodality of Our Lady (also known as the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary (in Latin, "Congregationes seu sodalitates B. Mariæ Virginis") is a Roman Catholic Marian Society founded in 1563 by young Belgian Jesuit, Jean Leunis (or Jan), at the Roman College of the Society of Jesus. The modern Ignatian lay group, Christian Life Community, traces its origins to the first Sodality.
