Immaculate Conception (December 8)
Deep love for Mary is a part of every Pole's religious training.  This feast of Mary, therefore, occupies a prominent place in his devotion to the Mother of God.  Traditionally the new Sodalists are accepted into Our Lady's Sodality on this day.  After the reception the novices sing the "Godzinki" or "Little Hours" in honor of Mary.  Structured to resemble the Little House of the Roman Breviary, the "Godzinki" express in music and song the Pole's affection and admiration for the Queen of his Fatherland.
