Legion of 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 neighbors on a voluntary basis. The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual prayer, service and evangelization works 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. Meetings at St. Isidore will be held in Room 209 of the Ministry Center on Mondays from 7 to 8 p.m., beginning June 2. Please fill out the form below to express interest in the Legion of Mary.
Legion of Mary Testimonials:
I was impressed at how one Legion of Mary member knew so much about the Catholic faith, and especially about Mary. He has been an active member for about 60 years. He is in his mid ’80s, yet he has such zeal and dedication to the Legion of Mary that he continues to do legionary works for our blessed Mother. So I decided to give it a try and joined as an active member of the Legion of Mary. I started learning more about Catholicism, Catechism, and true devotion to Mary. For me, reading and learning the Bible and the Catechism is not enough. I want to apply and practice what I learn about my Catholic faith by sharing my faith with others through spiritual works of mercy, such as promoting the praying of the rosary as a community after daily Mass. As a Legion of Mary member, I underwent a one-on-one training on how to do the legionary apostolic works right away, such as doing door-to-door visitation and pilgrim virgin home visitations, to name a few. I felt a great sense of fulfilment and joy in participating in Mary’s mission of bringing souls to Christ. In doing the apostolic and spiritual works of mercy with fellow legion members, I also developed a strong sense of family and camaraderie with each other and gained new friends that share the same love for Mary and the passion to serve our Lord Jesus through service to our neighbors. As the recent gospel says : “the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few.” The Legion of Mary is the extension hands and feet of the priests in their evangelization work. Mary is calling everyone to join her army. Will you answer her call? —Legion member
As an aspiring member of the Legion of Mary, I’ve found a profound sense of purpose that enriches my spiritual life. Going out two-by-two to share our faith and serve others feels like a true calling, echoing the mission of the apostles. Being part of my parish community has deepened my connection to fellow Catholics, fostering a sense of belonging and shared devotion. Above all, working under the grace of our Blessed Mother Mary brings me immense joy and strength, guiding my efforts with her loving intercession. The Legion of Mary has truly transformed my faith into action. —Gil, Legion member
Legion of Mary work help me get closer to Mary and Jesus by doing work for them. The Legion work helps me grow spiritually and deepen my Catholic faith. I’m excited to do door-to-door visitation so that those who have fallen away from the Church and prayer life can come back, and also to spread Catholic faith to those who do not know of it. Legion work deepens my relationship to Mary, and I feel closer to her by prayers and work. The community fosters support and encouragement to do good works together and pray together. Legion work for me inspire commitment and discipline to multiply good works. —May, Legion Member
