One of the first things I did after becoming Catholic, in my late 20’s, was to join a lay apostolate called The Legion of Mary. It happened quite by chance. But it was probably part of God’s plan.
I happened to go to a Mass where Legion members were promoting the organization at an information table. The Legion sounded exactly like what I was looking for.
The Legion is an opportunity for fellowship with other committed Catholics. But prayer and spiritual study, and practicing works of mercy are key attributes of the organization. Joining the Legion proved to be a life-changing decision.
