Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary is a worldwide Catholic organization dedicated to prayer, spiritual growth, and active service within local communities. Members, called Legionaries, typically meet regularly to pray, plan charitable activities, and help promote Catholic faith through personal efforts and evangelization. The organization emphasizes lay participation, encouraging members to live out their faith actively and collaboratively, strengthening both individual spirituality and community engagement. Founded in 1921 in Ireland, the Legion aims to foster holiness among its members and support the church’s mission through service, prayer, and outreach.
