LEGION OF MARY

The main apostolate of the Legion is activities directed towards Catholics and non-Catholics in our parish encouraging them in their faith or inviting them to become Catholics. This is usually done by encouraging them in prayer, attending Mass and learning more about the Catholic faith.

NOVENA OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL

A novena is an ancient way of praying, patterned after the nine days of prayer and vigil of Christ’s disciples awaiting the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This Novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of “Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal” takes place at 7:30 pm on Friday evening in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.

The Miraculous Medal (French: Médaille miraculeuse), also known as the Medal of Our Lady of Graces, is a medal, the design of which was originated by Saint Catherine Labouré following her apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rue du Bac, Paris, France, and made by goldsmith Adrien Vachette. According to the teaching of the Catholic Church, the use of sacramentals such as this medal prepare people to receive grace and dispose them to cooperate with it.
