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 in Mary’s and the Church’s work.

 The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium.

The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish.

Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.

Ministry of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue “Mother of the Sorrowful Heart Pray for Us” Pope Francis has dedicated his pontificate to Our Lady of Fatima, who has told us through her message to the visionaries of the importance of praying the Rosary daily. “God has placed peace in her hands, and it is from the Immaculate Heart that men must ask it.” If you would like Our Lady to visit your home and further her mission of daily prayer and the rosary: contact Janet Lee Malpeli: 717-648-9530 or Janet Lauletta: 610-639-4490

St. Basil’s Women’s Fellowship has an enthusiastic group of ladies who knit and crochet Prayer Shawls. These Prayer Shawls are available for persons who are ill, in nursing facilities or experiencing difficulties.

Each stitch in a Prayer Shawl is a prayer for the recovery in body and spirit for the person who will receive it. A priest blesses Prayer Shawls and they are meant to bring comfort, warmth, hope, peace and healing. The Prayer Shawl signifies love we have for those who are shut-in and unable to join us at Mass. When a recipient is wrapped in a Prayer Shawl they will feel a bond with our parish.   

If you are aware of anyone who might like to receive a Prayer Shawl, please email Betsy Amalong at  blamalong@verizon.net or call 610-933-6450.
