The Legion of Mary is the largest Lay Apostolic Association of Catholic men and women, approved by the Church. It is organized under the guidance of Mary Immaculate with a member of the clergy as a spiritual director.
Members of the Legion strive for personal sanctity through prayer and service. They make Mary known throughout the world. The members meet every Sunday for 1 1/2 hours to pray, receive such instructions and assignments as: visiting the homebound, residents in nursing homes and hospitals, and the newly baptized. Assignments also include the prison ministry, assisting and consoling the needy, bringing lapsed Catholics back to the Church, encouraging and guiding families on receipt of the sacraments.
All Catholic men and women of at least 18 years of age, who want to live edifying lives in conformity with the Church, are encouraged to join. The Legion of Mary also embraces youth membership. For additional information, contact Mrs. Colette Cajoux at (718) 528-3166.
