Legion of Mary

It has been over 100 years, since the first Legion of Mary meeting in Dublin, Ireland, on September 7, 1921.  Currently, the Legion of Mary is a world-wide lay apostolate, in which Catholic men, women and youth sanctify themselves through prayer and apostolic work in union with our Blessed Mother Mary.  It is estimated that there are about 5 million active and 12 million praying members (auxiliaries) around the world today.  It is perhaps the most successful lay movement in the Church.

The Legion’s purposes are: (1) sanctification of its members accomplished through prayer and work and (2) to raise the spiritual level of those met through direct contact.  Meetings are held weekly and include recitation of the Rosary, spiritual readings, a short talk by the Spiritual Director or President, a discussion of Catholic doctrine and devotion, and a review of each member’s apostolic work.  Some assigned works include: visitation of the sick, aged and homebound; religious education; Pilgrim Virgin visitation; Enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; recitation of the Rosary with those in nursing homes; and street contact. 
Legionaries are under the guidance and approval of our Pastor, Rev. Frank M. Lubowa.  The Legion is in essence an extension of the heart and hands of the Parish Priests.
