Legion of Mary

Bringing Christ to the World through Mary

The Legion of Mary is the largest lay apostolic organization in the Catholic Church—men and women united under the powerful guidance of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Grace, to bring Christ to others. For over 100 years worldwide, and 75 years in the Phoenix area, the Legion has been a living witness to the call of Pope St. John Paul II:

“It is not enough to discover Christ; you must bring Him to others.”

Mission & Vision

To serve Christ and His Church through prayer, evangelization, and works of mercy, offering the gift of time and faith in a spirit of humility and love. Legion members seek to grow in holiness while sharing the treasures of the Catholic faith with others in need of hope and grace.

How We Serve

Each local presidium (small group of 4–12 or more members) engages in a variety of spiritual works, including:

• Promoting devotion to the Rosary

• Performing spiritual works of mercy

• Making home and hospital visitations

• Assisting with care center ministries

• Leading home enthronements of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

• Supporting the Pilgrim Virgin Mary Visitation Program
