Legion of Mary

What is the Legion of Mary?
The Legion of Mary began in Dublin, Ireland in 1921 and came to the U.S. in 1931. It was founded by Frank Duff. It has spread all over the world. It is the only evangelical organization.
The parish unit is called a praesidium. The members meet weekly for at least an hour. Each member is assigned a 2-hour work assignment, calling on the homes of parishioners and making sick calls at rest homes, hospitals and private residences.
The meeting format and the table arrangement is the same at every Legion of Mary meeting throughout the world. Pages of the handbook are read at every meeting and the Tessera (the Legion of Mary prayer book) are read at specific times of the meeting.
All legionnaires promote the rosary as well as their evangelization in the community.

St Mel's morning Legion of Mary group meets every Thursday morning after the 8:30AM mass in the Baptismal Room. Contact Joyce Savage 944-2584

St. Mel's evening Legion of Mary group meets every Wednesday at 6:30 PM in the Parish Library. Contact Ed Lopes 863-7478

The Marian Movement of Priests-

The Marian Movement of Priests was initiated in 1975, with a temporary Headquarters in Lewiston, Maine. In 1977, its National Headquarters was permanently established in St. Francis, Maine, on the banks of the St. John River that separates Canada from the United States.

Our Lady's choice of St. Francis as the home for her U.S. Headquarters is truly a meaningful one. It was St. Francis of Assisi who was called by Jesus to go "rebuild his Church", and Our Lady's Marian Movement of Priests has been called by her to this same mission.
