Legion of Mary

What is it?
The largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church with well over 2 million active members in most every country of the world. It has been approved by the last six Popes and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.

What does it do?
It makes its members better Catholics, first of all through a balanced program of prayer and service in union with the Holy Spirit as He operates through Mary, Mother of the Church. It is a way for baptized Catholics to put their baptism into action.

How does it work?
Members meet together once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting; they do a couple of hours of assigned work each week in pairs and under the guidance of a Spiritual Director.

Who can belong?
By being a guest at a meeting. You are invited to Come and See the Legion from the inside. And you can go as a guest on one of the work assignments with an experienced member. What you need is a willingness to sacrifice a little of your time and energy for the greatest reason in the world: your love of God and desire to build up the Kingdom of God.

Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministers are lay persons who, through training, learn skills and develop their gifts for bringing Christ’s healing love to people who are lonely, grieving, strangers, new parents, ill, homebound, or experiencing other stresses in life. Our members are caring, giving persons who reach out a supporting hand to the spiritual, social, and emotional needs of our community.

The Stephen Ministry training program will prepare interested men and women of any age to become Stephen Ministers, equipping them to care for the many needs in our parish.
