The Legion of Mary meets on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM
in the Library in the Parish Life Center. For more information, email the parish at rmcg317@gmail.com.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 Rachel McGonigle at 484-467-3704.

This month, we will have the opportunity to spiritually adopt a child who is newly conceived this month. Not all newly conceived babies are able to be born, and it is these babies you are being asked to "adopt". You may "adopt" a child individually or as a family.
The power of prayer is great and there are millions of unborn babies at risk of loss who desperately need your prayers. Please consider a spiritual adoption of an unborn child and share the love for life that God has given you. Prayer cards and more information will be available in the narthex from our Respect Life team members. Thank you!
