Membership

Join the Legion of Mary — Workers and Prayers

The Legion of Mary needs you — your hands, your voice, your presence in the apostolate.

The Legion of Mary has two forms of membership. Active members are the heart of the Legion — they carry out its apostolic works, bringing the light of Christ into homes, hospitals and streets. Today, of the Legion's ten million members worldwide, only three million serve as active legionaries. The need for new active members has never been greater. We invite you to answer that call.

Active Member

Serve with Us

Active members are the hands and feet of the Legion. They commit to:

  • Weekly Praesidium meetings
  • Daily recitation of the Catena
  • Weekly apostolic work (2+ hours)
  • Daily Rosary

Every parish, every community needs legionaries willing to go out and serve. If you feel called to bring the faith to others, this is your invitation. Apply to your nearest Praesidium and begin your apostolate.

Auxiliary Member

Pray with Us

If your circumstances do not permit you to undertake active membership at this time, you might consider auxiliary membership, which is designed to provide a vital service of prayer supporting the work of active members.

  • Daily recitation of the Rosary
  • Daily recitation of Legion prayers
  • Praying for the Legion's work
  • Supporting legionaries spiritually

The prayers of auxiliary members sustain and strengthen every legionary in the field. As circumstances change, auxiliary members are always warmly encouraged to consider the step to active membership.

The Legion urgently needs active members — will you answer the call?
