Legion of Mary
Legionis Mariae
The Legion of Mary is an organization of men and women who meet weekly to pray the rosary along with other prayers and do spiritual and corporal works of mercy in the parish and community.
This helps members develop greater holiness in their own lives as well as spread a deeper devotion to the rosary and to Mary.
There are two types of the presidium that make up the local group. The Active members meet weekly on Wednesdays at 10:30am in the Parish Hall. There are also Auxiliary members who say designated prayers and the rosary daily but do not go out to meetings.
More to know….
The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with over 3 million members in almost every country of the world. Active in the United States since 1931, it has been approved by the last 6 Popes, and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.
The main purpose of the Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members.
Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer and service. Works includes parishioner visitation, prison ministry, visitation of the sick or aged, crowd contact, religious education, visiting the newly baptized, Pilgrim Virgin Statue rotations, and meeting the other spiritual needs of the parish community.
