The mission of the Legion of Mary is “to glorify God and bring the world to Jesus through Mary by fostering holiness in its members via prayer and active cooperation in the Church’s evangelization efforts, serving the sick, lonely, and marginalized, and bringing Christ’s love to all, working under priestly guidance for spiritual growth and the salvation of souls.” Members, called legionaries, perform spiritual works of mercy, like door-to-door evangelization, Pilgrim Virgin statue home visitation, praying the rosary and offering the Eucharist to residents in the nursing homes, promoting rosary prayer after daily masses, encouraging the frequent visitation in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, extension works such as launching and forming a Legion of Mary presidium in churches, and many other works.
