Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary Most Blessed Sacrament Presidium was formed in 1962 by Sr. Aileen Connell. Our Lady of Immaculate Conception was formed in 1965 by Sr. Clare Stack. Both Precidiums amalgamated in 2022 which now have 10 active members and approximately 43 auxiliary members. 

Meetings are Held Every Friday at 9:40 a.m. after the 9:00 a.m. Mass.

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.

The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbour on a voluntary basis in about 170 countries.
