On Wednesday 9th March, a meeting about the Spirituality and Mission of the Legion of Mary was organised for the Seminary community. Mr Alfred Grech, a lay member of the Legion of Mary, was invited to conduct the meeting. Mr Grech explained the beginning of the Legion of Mary by the Irish founder, Frank Duff, and how the Marian spirituality formed by Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort was adopted. The meeting continued with an explanation of the now well-organised structure of the Legion of Mary on a universal level and the apostolic work done by the members. Mr Grech finished the talk with an overview of the Legion’s current situation in the Dioceses of Malta and Gozo. A discussion with the seminarians followed.
The Legion of Mary is an international Marian movement of the Catholic Church that serves it voluntarily. On the 7th of September 2021, the Legion of Mary celebrated its 100th anniversary from its founding date. Today, it is the largest apostolic organisation of lay people in the Catholic Church.
