Legion of Mary

An organization of women and men, 18 years of age and older, which strives for self-sanctification of members through prayer and active cooperation with our church's apostolic work.

Works of the Legion are spiritual in nature, not corporal or material. Works of active members are not restricted to any one activity. Legion works do not have to be above and beyond spiritual works already being done by the member. Spiritual works may also be assigned at the request of the pastor.

Preferred Legion works involve some sort of outreach to encourage spirituality and participation in the parish. The objectives for outreach are decided by the local unit. Some examples include:

• Encouragement of lax Catholics for attendance at Mass and sacraments
• Recruitment of Auxiliary members
• Evangelization
• Promotion of the rosary

Legion calls are always made with a team of two.

"What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?" (Ps 116:12)

Our Mission

To give glory to God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active cooperation in Mary's and the Church's work of advancing the reign of Christ.

Schedule

Rosary and Meeting is held every Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in the Parish Center
