The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation, under ecclesiastical guidance, in Mary’s and the Church’s work of crushing the head of the serpent and advancing the reign of Christ.

of lay people in the Catholic Church. Works include door-to-door evangelisation, parishioner visitation, visitation of the sick or aged, Catholic education, visiting the newly baptised, visiting families, and meeting the other spiritual needs of the parish community.
