The Legion of Mary (LOM) is a volunteer group in our parish which acts as the “hands and feet of the priest.” Each member promises to attend a weekly meeting (currently held on Mondays at 9:15 AM in the Wellein Room) and to give 2 hours a week in service to Our Blessed Mother. The service has been assigned or approved by the parish priest.

The meetings are very structured with prayer, reporting, and study.  It is never longer than 1.5 hours per LOM regulations. There is always lively discussion of work done, ideas for new projects, and assignment of work for the coming week. Every meeting contains a short study of a section from the LOM handbook providing members with an increased knowledge of the Catholic Faith and of the LOM.

There is tremendous good that comes from the legionary membership.  Examples of the LOM work include:

• Book and DVD library in the church
• Pilgrim Virgin Program
• Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in homes
• Visits to sick and shut-ins in the community
• Monthly luncheon and movie day for shut-ins
• Administration of Lighthouse CDs and Ignatius Press pamphlets

New members are always welcome and always needed as the work continues to increase. For more information simply come to a meeting to see what it is all about!
