Mention may be made briefly of a large Sunday School for boys and girls, an Altar Society for married women that approaches the communion table on the first Sunday of each month, a League of the Sacred heart for men and women that receives the sacrament on the first Friday, the Children of Mary Sodality on the second Sunday, the Holy Name Society and the Holy Angels' Sodality on the third Sunday and the Sacred Heart Society for boys on the fourth Sunday. The members of the Children of Mary Sodality gather on the Monday evening following their communion for religious instruction from their chaplain, Reverend Father Thomas J. McLean, and the Holy Name Society members on the night of their communion for religious instruction from their director, Reverend Father Thomas P. Doherty. It is Reverend Father Boylan's custom to arrange for special sermons during the Lenten periods of each year, with Missionary Fathers as the speakers, and during the Lenten season just closed the preachers were Dominican Fathers from the Providence College.
