Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with well over 10 million active and auxiliary members in almost every country of the world. It has been active in the United States since 1931, has been approved by the 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 include leading the rosary before Mass, parishioner visitation, visitation of the sick or aged, religious education, visiting the newly baptized, Pilgrim Virgin Statue rotations, distributing religious literature, evangelization, and meeting other spiritual needs of the parish community, as requested by the Pastor. Legionaries are under the guidance of a Spiritual Director, named by the Pastor. The Legion is, in essence, an extension of the heart and hands of the pastor. 

Members meet once a week for prayer, and discussion. Weekly meetings are on Wednesday at 7:15 pm in O’Brien Hall. Visitors are welcome.
