Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary (Latin: Legio Mariae) is an association of Catholic laity who serve the Church on a voluntary basis.  It was founded in Dublin, Ireland, on September 7, 1921, as a Roman Catholic Marian Movement by layman Frank Duff.  Today between active and auxiliary (praying) members, there are millions of members worldwide making it the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church.

To be in the Legion of Mary, one must be a practicing Catholic.  Active members serve God under the banner of Mary by practicing the Spiritual Works of Mercy and Evangelization.  The main apostolate of the Legion consists in activities directed towards all men and women, young and old, rich and poor as well as people from the margins of society and towards non-Catholics.  The members of the Legion are primarily engaged in the performance of the Spiritual Works of Mercy and Evangelization rather than works of material aid.

The Englsih speaking Legion of Mary meets at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday mornings in the Spanish Classroom. For more information, please contact Miss Stephanie Marshall  through her e-mail: [email protected] .

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:35, 36-40.
