St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church

The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members. It is the largest lay Apostolic organization in the Catholic Church and has millions of members worldwide. It was founded in 1921. Its goal is to form its members in holiness, knowledge of the faith and techniques of apostleship.

The Legion operates in a diocese with the permission of the bishop, and in the parish with the permission of the pastor. The legion group in a parish is called a praesidium. Our praesidium at Saint Luke's is named Queenship of Mary.

Active members meet weekly for prayer and planning under the guidance of a spiritual director.(Our spiritual director is Father Joe.) Each week active members do two hours of Apostolic work assigned by the proesidium.

Auxiliary members support the proesidium by saying the rosary and the prayers in the tessera each day. They benefit from all the prayers said by Legion members throughout the world.

Saint Luke's Legion of Mary meets each Monday at 7 pm in the parish center. We are actively recruiting both active and auxiliary members. For further information - join us at one of our meetings or call Jan at 847 3936.
