Post-Vatican II and The Advent of The Christian Life Communities
Until the establishment of the Christian Life Communities in 1967, the "Sodality of Our Lady" remained the Ignatian lay organisation. Many Sodalities of Our Lady, in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, were led to become more devoted to people who were in spiritual and physical need (the hungry, naked, homeless and imprisoned), after having been encouraged to return to their original charism by the Ecumenical Council.
Some Marian Congregations have been reconstituted since Vatican II, the Marianische Frauencongregation or Ladies' Sodality of Our Lady of Regensburg is a case in point. HSH Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis is the re-founding Prefect.
