Our Pilgrim Statue Program

The Legion of Mary, Our Lady of Humility, invites parishioners to receive a visit of the Our Lady of Fatima statue to your home. 

 Share the love, blessings, and graces of our Blessed Mother as you pray the Rosary with family and friends during the visit of the Pilgrim Virgin statue.

Sign up in the calendar on the table in the Narthex.  A Legion of Mary member will deliver the statue of Our Lady to your home, set her in a place of honor, and lead your family in the Welcome Prayers. 

During the two weeks Our Lady visits, you are encouraged to invite family and friends to join you in praying a daily rosary.   Another Legion sister will contact you to arrange for pickup of the statue and will lead a short Farewell Ceremony.

·OUR MISSION: 

 Learn more about the Catholic faith      

· Enrich your prayer life

· Develop Catholic Friendships

· Grow closer to Jesus and His Mother

The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with well over 3 million active members in almost every country of the world.  It has been active in the United States since 1931, has been approved by the last 6 Popes, and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.  

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.

 The vocation of Mary is always to bring Jesus into the world. Nothing more and nothing less. With her whole mind, heart, soul and body, indeed, with everything that she is and has she seeks to give Jesus to each one of us. This too is the authentic and primary mission of the Church. 

 The Legion seeks to continue the missionary vocation of Mary. True Devotion to Mary takes precedence over all other works of the Legion. All our apostolic activity on the outside is greatly diminished if there is no union with Mary on the inside in our hearts. For this reason, Legionaries turn to Mary before, during and after our weekly apostolic activities. We turn to her habitually. She is our life, our sweetness, and our hope.

The Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a beautiful ceremony and a way to make Jesus the center of our family’s life under Our Mother Mary and God, the Father.

Legionaries promote this sacred practice in as many homes of Legionaries, Auxiliaries, and parishioners as possible. These enthronements deepen the Faith and promote the true conversion of Catholics, increasing their zeal in the Lord’s mission in the salvation of soul.

 “…The Enthronement of the Sacred Heart is one of the oldest and most treasured apostolates of the Legion and one that Frank Duff himself personally engaged in.

In Sacred Scripture the heart is the symbol of the deepest center and identity of a person. In the case of Jesus it means that it is love that defines Him. Love is His most specific characteristic. The Sacred Heart is the human language for revealing the basic fact that God is Love. In devotion to the Heart of Jesus we are honoring the human and divine love that Jesus has for each one of us.  

To enthrone or consecrate a home to the Sacred Heart means to put Gods love at the center of the home, to place a reminder of the central teaching of the Gospel in the midst of the family. 

Of course, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is intimately associated with devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

‘As it is the mission of Mary to bring about the reign of Jesus, so there is a special appropriateness (which should attract the special graces of the Holy Spirit) in the Legion of Mary propagating the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart.'”

When you have experienced a loss, the Legion can visit to offer prayerful support.  Ever mindful that everyone grieves in their own way, we can visit, call, or just drop off a  packet of items that may bring comfort.
