Legion of Mary / Junior Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary is an Association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, have formed themselves into a Legion for service in the warfare which is perpetually waged by the Church against the world and its evil powers.  The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation, under ecclesiastical guidance, in Mary's and the Church's work and advancing the reign of Christ.

Rooted in Marian spirituality and commitment to the Holy Spirit, the life of the Legion of Mary is based on Faith in the joint action of the Spirit and our Lady in the work of Redemption, and the spread of the Kingdom of God throughout the world.  Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer and service.  Our membership attends weekly meetings for prayer, planning, and discussion in a family setting.  Then they do 2 hours (Junior Legion, 1 hour) of definite 'work' each week in pairs, under the guidance of their spiritual director.  This 'work' consists of making rosaries and other works of charity and prayer, in other words, corporal & spiritual works of mercy in our parish and wider community.
