The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with well over 2 million active members in most every country of the world. In 1991 the Legion celebrated its 70th Anniversary worldwide. It has been approved by the last 6 Popes and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.
The Legion of Mary makes its members better Catholics, first of all, through a balanced program of prayer and service in union with the Holy Spirit as He operates through Mary, Mother of the Church. Works include door-to-door evangelization, parish visitation program projects, youth work and other spiritual needs of the parish and community. It gives Catholics from 8 years of age and up an opportunity to do something positive for the Church while at the same time deepening their spiritual life and strengthening their Catholic Faith.
Members meet together once a week on Wednesday evenings at 7:15 P.M. for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting under the guidance of a Spiritual Director.
