Fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Our Blessed Mother wants active and auxiliary members to join Her Legion. Assist in waging war against the enemy by winning souls for the Crucified Christ!! Join a nearly 100 year old lay apostolate movement founded on a profound devotion to Our Lady.


The purpose of Legion of Mary is three-fold:
  1. To enable its members to become better Catholics and to mobilize the Catholic laity
  2. To raise the Spiritual level of the entire community through direct contact with and interest in every member and potential member of the Mystical Body of Christ
  3. To accomplish this through Mary, Mother of Souls and Mediatrix of all Grace


Address delivered by the Holy Father, Pope St. John Paul II, to a group of Italian legionaries on 30th October 1982:


“Yours is an eminently Marian spirituality, not only because the Legion glories in carrying Mary‘s name as its unfurled banner, but above all because it bases its method of spirituality and apostolate on the dynamic principle of union with Mary, on the truth of the intimate participation of the Virgin Mary in the plan of salvation. In other words, you intend to render your service to every person, who is the image of Christ, with the spirit and the solicitude of Mary.”


There are two types of membership:
  1. Active members
  2. Auxiliary members
