Legion of Mary Social
Join the Legion of Mary for a social after the 5:00 pm Mass on Sunday, September 23 in the Basilica Courtyard. They will serve refreshments as they continue to celebrate Our Lady’s birthday, which was on September 8.
Members meet every Monday at 7:30 pm in the Fr. Rankin House at 314 Duke Street for prayer, planning, and discussion in a family setting. Then, working in pairs, they do two hours of definite work before the next meeting. Visitation of families, the sick and the lonely, and helping with other parish activities are ways in which legionaries participate in the life of the parish. Encouraging living the faith on a deeper level and sharing the faith with others are important elements of the Legion’s work.
The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church with over three million active members in almost every country of the world. The main purpose of the Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members. It has been active in the United States since 1931 and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.
