Legion of Mary Mission
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, under ecclesiastical guidance, in Mary's
and the Church's work of crushing the head of the serpent and
advancing the reign of Christ.
Subject to the approval of the Concilium, and to the restrictions
specified in the official handbook of the Legion, the Legion of
Mary is at the disposal of the bishop of the diocese and the
parish priest for any and every form of social service and
Catholic action which these authorities may deem suitable to the
legionaries and useful for the welfare of the Church. Legionaries
will never engage in any of these services whatsoever in a parish
without the sanction of the parish priest or of the Ordinary*.
For more information about our
mission, read
our Handbook.
*By the Ordinary is meant the local Ordinary, that is, the bishop
of the diocese or other competent ecclesiastical authority.
