What is it?

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 8 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.​

What does it do?

Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer and service. Works include "door to door" evangelization, parishioner visitation, prison ministry, visitation of the sick or aged, crowd contact, religious education, visiting the newly baptized, Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Virgin Statue rotations, Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary and meeting the other spiritual needs of the parish community. 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.​

How does it work?

Members meet once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting. Then they do two hours of definite work each week in pairs and under the guidance of their spiritual director. Auxiliary members are those who pray daily in honor Our Blessed Lady and her intentions. They are so important for the success of the Legion of Mary as two wings to a bird.

Who can belong?

The Legion of Mary is open to all Catholics who:
  • Faithfully practice their religion.
  • Are animated by the desire to participate in the ChurchÂs apostolate through membership in the Legion.
  • Are prepared to fulfill each and every duty which active membership in the Legion involves.
