WHO IS THE LEGION OF MARY?

What are the advantages to starting this ministry?

The primary goal of this ministry is the holiness of its members.  We serve Jesus Christ under the banner of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is lived out through the performance of spiritual works of Mercy. This is rewarding not only in earthly terms, but eternally.  Please see the Overview Section for more details.

How can I approach my priest to start this ministry in the parish?

The Legion of Mary in a parish is to be an extension of the parish priest.  Spiritual works of Mercy that cannot be performed by the priest due to time constraints can be performed by the Legion.  The Legion of Mary is to be an aid, not a hindrance. Legion of Mary members have written many books and pamphlets about benefits to the priest that can be provided upon request.  Please Contact Us.
