Legion of Mary
Mary's Way of the Cross
This centuries old Catholic tradition now becomes our way of life. Mary, the Mother of Jesus, made that first way of the cross.
These stations, called Mary's Way of the cross, attempt to present that viewpoint. In these stations we see through Mary's eyes what Jesus was going through on the way to Calvary. As Mary and Jesus' companions on this spiritual journey, we try to make practical applications to our lives. Please join us in the Day Chapel to pray this wonderful devotion to our blessed Mother on Thursday, March 13, 20 and April 3 at 6:30 pm. About The Legion of Mary
A lay apostolic association of Catholics, the Legion of Mary glorifies God through the holiness of its members. They develop members through prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work. The Presidium--or the membership unit--holds weekly meetings. Leaders intermingle prayer between reports and discussions with emphasis on the spiritual and social welfare of every individual. Evangelization, especially the seeking of conversions to the Church, remains a priority for the Legion.
The members participate in the life of the parish by visiting parishioners, including the sick, in their homes, hospitals and residential care facilities. The Legion collaborates with parish apostolic and missionary undertakings. Every legionary member is required to carry out apostolic work weekly. The Holy Catholic Church sanctions the Legion of Mary under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces. Collectively, the Legion serves an estimated 170 countries. The Legion's first meeting took place in Dublin, Ireland on September 7, 1921. With the approval and support of the Popes, religious leaders throughout the world, and by the grace of God, the Legion of Mary since has grown into a worldwide organization with several million members. |
