LEGION OF MARY

The Legion of Mary, the largest worldwide lay apostolate in the Catholic Church, is committed to the spiritual formation of its members, who in turn reach out to others through spiritual works of mercy. The Legion of Mary was founded in Dublin in 1921 and has been active in the United States since 1931. “Our Lady of Perpetual Help,” the Gesu Parish Legion of Mary chapter, has a year-round open invitation to parishioners for enrollment as active or auxiliary members. You are welcome to be a guest at one of its meetings to become familiar with the responsibilities and benefits of membership. For more information, contact Christie Okocha or Diane Mackay.
