Congregación Mariana
Lord became national director of the Sodality of Our Lady in 1926, also serving as editor of its magazine, "The Queen's Work". A loose network of student-based charitable and devotional groups often headquartered at Jesuit educational institutions, it was labeled a dying organization before his involvement, but expanded quickly under Lord's leadership. Lord drafted its theme song, "For Christ the King", known to many mid-century American parochial school children. He also wrote, in 1941, the school song for Ursuline College in Louisville, Kentucky.
