The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organisation of lay people in the Catholic Church, with more than three million active members and reaching almost every country of the world.
Its main purpose is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members. Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through prayer and service, which includes visiting the sick and aged, visiting the newly baptised and meeting the spiritual needs of the parish community.
Members meet once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting. Then they do two hours of definite work each week in pairs and under the guidance of their spiritual director.
The Legion of Mary is open to all Catholics who faithfully practice their religion, are animated by the desire to participate in the Church’s apostolic work and are prepared to fulfil every duty active membership involves.
