The Legion of Mary
WHAT is it?
The Legion is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church with well over 2 million active members in most every country in the world. lt has been active in the United States since 1931, has been approved by the last 6 Popes and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.
WHAT's in it for ME?
The Legion makes its members better Catholics, through a balanced program of prayer and service in union with the Holy Spirit as He operates through Mary the Mother of the Church. It gives all practicing Catholics an opportunity to do something positive in this
world, while at the same time deepening their spiritual life and strengthening their Catholic faith. It also develops lasting friendships with fellow Catholics.
HOW does it work?
Members meet together once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting; they do a couple of hours each week in pairs and under the guidance of our Spiritual Director. Works include parish visitation, nursing home visits, church census programs, and other spiritual needs as determined by our Pastor.
HOW do I start?
By being a guest at a meeting. You are invited to come and see the Legion from the inside. You can go as a guest on one of the work assignments with an experienced member. You don't need a lot of talent, experience or even a feeling of being capable! All you need is a willingness to give a little of your time and energy for the greatest reason in the world-your love of God!
