The Legion of Mary is a world-wide organization of the lay apostolate. Through prayer, we work to strengthen our relationship with our Lord. We participate in the Spiritual Works of Mercy in union with Mary, our Mother, to bring Jesus to the souls who need Him and to deepen their relationship with Him.
As members of the Legion of Mary, we are given opportunities to use the gifts that God has given us to serve Him through Mary. We grow in our Faith and develop the gifts of Grace we received in Baptism and Confirmation. Plus, we enjoy the friendship of fellow Legionaries and the friendship of those for whom we serve.
To be a member, you only need a willingness to let our Lady use you as you are. She needs your hands and feet, your lips and heart, your time and effort. Legionaries are simply Mary’s means of action to bring her Son’s message to the world today.
