Pope John Paul II stated of the Legion, "Yours is an eminently Marian spirituality, not only because the Legion glories in carrying Mary's name but above all because it bases its method of spirituality and apostolate on the dynamic principle of union with Mary on the truth of the intimate participation of the Virgin Mary in the plan of salvation.  In other words, you intend to render your service to every person, who is the image of Christ, with the spirit and solicitude of Mary."

The LEGION of MARY mission is for active members to serve God under the banner of Mary through the corporal and spiritual works of Mercy.

• Do you want to learn more about your Catholic Faith?
• Do you want to deepen your prayer life?
• Do you want to develop close Catholic friendships?
• Do you want to grow closer to Jesus and His Mother?
• Come as a guest to a Legion of Mary meeting. There's no obligation.

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 2021 the Legion celebrated its 100th anniversary worldwide.  It has been active in the United States since 1931, has been approved by the last 6 popes and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.

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 projects, youth work and other spiritual needs of the parish and community.  It gives Catholics from 8 years up an opportunity to do something positive for the Church while at the same time deepening their spiritual life and stregthening their Catholic Faith.

Members meet together once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting; they do a couple of hours of definite work each week in pairs and under the guidance of a Spiritual Director.

You start by being a guest at a meeting.  You are invited to come and see the Legion from the inside.  And you can go as a guest on one of the work assignments with an experienced member if you wish.  You won't need a lot of talent, or great intelligence or even a feeling of being capable. What you will need is a willingness to sacrifice a little of your time and energy for the greatest reason in the world: your love of God.

There is an easing in period of three months so you can see how work or family obligations blend with the tried and proven system of the Legion.  Any Catholic, young, not-so-young, single, married, retired, who would like to draw closer to Jesus and His Mother is welcome to give it a try.
