Embrace the Grace

Over 125 young adults filled a hall in Dublin on the last Saturday of August for the Legion’s young adult conference — 55 legionaries and 70 who are not in the Legion at all — and legionaries from Down and Connor made the journey down to be among them. Two talks, workshops given by young adults to young adults, testimonies, a tour of Frank Duff House, and adoration, confession and Mass at the Franciscan church on Church Street in the eight hundredth year since the death of St Francis.

The Fleadh in Belfast

Ireland’s largest traditional music festival came to Belfast in August 2026, and an estimated 1.65 million people came with it. Over three days we filled St Paul’s Pastoral Centre for an evening with Bishop Alan McGuckian, opened St Mary’s, Chapel Lane, for confession and adoration — 393 candles were lit that night — and worked the street with the stall, giving thousands of miraculous medals to people of every tradition and of none. In a city that knows the cost of division, it was a week worth giving.

Templemore Mission

I had the privilege of serving Our Lady by helping the Legion in Templemore, Co. Tipperary — a praesidium now down to just four members — and it left me grateful for how many we are here in Belfast. It was wonderful to meet so many young adults from Limerick, Thurles and Dublin who are truly on fire for the Catholic faith; it gives me such hope for this generation. Fr Connor celebrated Mass and blessed our mission before the Legion meeting, and Our Lady held back the forecast rain until the very end — only a slight drizzle during our street contact in the town park and square. A great day of discipleship, working together to bring more people to the love of Christ through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. — Sr Cano

Rosary Rally Belfast

The Legion of Mary joined the nationwide Rosary Rally — over 580 locations across Ireland praying as one for the conversion of the nation. Ireland needs Fátima. Now in its third year, the rally drew strong local and Legion support here in Belfast. Faithful gathered at the grotto to pray for the conversion of Ireland, for the souls of our community, and for our families and friends. Our Lady hears our prayers. Through her intercession, we raise them to Heaven.
