The Legion
of Mary is a world-wide lay apostolate in the Catholic
Church. The members offer their services to their pastor to
aid him in performing spiritual works in the parish.
Examples of this work include visiting the sick in
hospitals, nursing homes, distributing Catholic literature,
and promoting devotion to the rosary. The personal
sanctification of its members, who take Mary as their model,
endeavor to imitate her virtues, especially her Faith,
Charity, and Humility.
The Holy
Name of Jesus Legion of Mary meets weekly.
