The Legion of Mary is an association of Catholic laity that was founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1921, and today numbers in excess of 10 million members worldwide. It is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church. Active members serve God under the banner of Mary by practicing the Spiritual Works of Mercy. In weeks to come, we will have another presentation by members of the Legion in our parish, as we are hoping they become the driving force behind a parish census and Catholic outreach.
