WHO WE ARE

The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with well over 3 million active members in almost every country of the world. It has been active in the United States since 1931, has been approved by the last eight 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 holiness of its members developed by prayer and active cooperation in Mary's and the Church's work of Evangelization. 
 

OBJECTIVES

The Blessed Virgin Mary calls each and every one of us, " Do as He commands you." The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual welfare of each individual. Personal sanctification is sought by attempting to imitate Mary in her virtues of Faith, Charity, Love and Humility. The Legion spreads devotion to Mary, primarily by encouraging the recitation of the Rosary. (  Mary's request at Fatima). The Faith and the gifts of grace received at Baptism and Confirmation are further developed as the legionnaire dedicated to Mary and her son, Jesus, perform weekly apostolic work. Evangelization and the New Commandment of God come alive through the prayers and works of the Legion. 
 

WORKS OF THE LEGION

Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer and service. They participate in the life of the parish and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish.  The Legion is, in essence an extension of the heart and hands of the pastor.
