Legion of Mary

The purpose of the Legion of Mary is two-fold: the spiritual development of its members and advancing the reign of Christ through Our Lady. It is a lay organization in the Catholic Church with millions members worldwide. Msgr O'Connor has granted the Legion permission to open a branch at the Cathedral. In addition to prayer, the Legion members help the parish priest with a variety of endeavors. Some of the works that the Legion of Mary do are:

Promoting Catholic devotions in the parish such Brown Scapular drives, Eucharistic Adoration, First Saturday Devotions, etc.
Visits to the sick
Visits to new parishioners
Teaching religious education classes
Home visitations to pray the rosary with families
Home visitations with a Pilgrim Virgin statue

Seven Sisters Apostolate

Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop. We are looking for ladies to commit to prayer one hour each week, thus covering a complete week, preferably in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Please prayerfully consider joining this worthy cause. https://sevensistersapostolate.org
