O Mary, conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to you.
Legion of Mary Homepage Image
The Legion of Mary was founded in Dublin, Ireland on 7 September 1921. It is a lay catholic organisation whose members are giving service to the Church on a voluntary basis in almost every country.

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 in Mary’s and the Church’s work.

The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium.

The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish.

Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.

Quote of the Day
Our task is to see what New Evangelisation means for us and for our ministry.

We want to reflect on how the New Evangelisation can be shaped in the years to come, in a century and a Millennium which will be very different to the past and even the recent past.

We look at a future where the challenges will be new, but also where the opportunities will be new.
Most Reverend Diarmuid Martin, Archbishop of Dublin
