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.
Congratulations to 2022 deChantal eighth graders Sydney Townsend and Colette Johnson, who are the winners of the 2022 Junior Sodality scholarship essay contest!

Colette received a $1,000 scholarship to her chosen Catholic high school, The Academy of the Holy Cross. The question the Junior Sodalists responded to was:
Catholic youth ministry programs have traditionally not been a hot destination for high school students. How do you think churches could attract more teens to youth groups?
