FOREWORD

The past 12 months have been filled with many joyous occasions for the Archdiocese of Liverpool, but sadly there have also been very dark moments including the horrific incident in Southport which sadly took the lives of three young girls, and the riots that subsequently followed.

Personally, this year has been significant for me, as I celebrated my 75th birthday in June and I started the process of retiring from my position after serving as the Archbishop of Liverpool for over a decade. Since arriving at the city, I have found everyone to be so incredibly welcoming, supportive and encouraging to me. It has been such a good place to be an archbishop, and I look forward to continuing my time in the city when I do retire, as Liverpool is now very much my home.

Throughout this year, the archdiocese has made very positive strides in progressing the pastoral plan. In March, Families of Parishes were confirmed, a move which will help parishes advance their mission by having multiple priests, deacons and laity who can share their gifts and talents with the whole local family.

Also in March, we joined forces with the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool to host the city’s first LOUDfence event. This ground-breaking initiative provided a platform for all those affected by abuse, offering healing and support through a visible demonstration of solidarity. It’s an event we are planning to host annually as part of our transparent and open approach towards safeguarding.

In the summer, as you see on the cover, we celebrated the ordination of four new priests: James Finnegan, Martin Fyles, Peter Ross and Lister Tonge, a joyful occasion for everyone in the archdiocese. Later in the year, Bill McMahon was ordained as a permanent deacon.

It was an honour, as it is every year, to lead the annual archdiocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes in the summer - a week filled with love, kindness and renewal. My thanks go to our young people, volunteers, medical staff and pilgrims who make the week so special.

In September, we celebrated Adoremus at both the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King and the Co-Cathedral of St Mary of the Isle, an incredible day of prayer and reflection for people across the archdiocese that included workshops, Mass, Exposition and Benediction.

It was also an honour to witness Professor Gerald Pillay being invested as a Knight of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great by the Apostolic Nuncio in October. This was a wonderful ecumenical event held at Liverpool Cathedral.

At the end of the year, it was with great joy that I could officially declare the case of John (Jack) Traynor as a miracle after he was cured from multiple serious medical conditions during the archdiocese’s first official pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1923. I give thanks to Dr Alessandro de Franciscis and Dr Kieran Moriarty who conducted a review of the case. I look forward to

marking this significant moment in history in February 2025 with a fitting celebration, helping us all to respond to the Jubilee call to be ‘Pilgrims of Hope.’

We give thanks for all of the positive moments throughout 2024 and remember all those who we have lost throughout the year. I continue to pray for peace here in the archdiocese and internationally, including the Holy Land and Ukraine.

I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring. It will be a significant year for the archdiocese as we take part in the Jubilee celebrations as well as the prospect of a new Archbishop of Liverpool.

I want to thank you all for your continued support and prayers.

God bless,

MOST REV MALCOLM McMAHON OP Archbishop of Liverpool

PARISHES

General points

• Parishes are listed alphabetically according to their title, in the tradional (not deanery) order:

• Metropolitan Cathedral

• Liverpool parishes

• All other parishes in order of their location (town or village or IoM)

• An index of all parishes by name appears at the back of the book.

• Separate lists of consecrated and closed churches are included – see contents list for page numbers.

• The parish number appears in the blue banner at the head of each entry. This is used in all official returns and listings.

• Where two dates are given after the title of a church, the first is usually the foundation of the parish and the second that of the existing church building.

• Mass times are correct at the time of publication but may be varied during the year.

• Baptisms and marriages are normally arranged by appointment in the parish concerned.

• Schools listed in the parish entries serve that parish but are not necessarily located within the parish.

• The Directory includes postnominal letters denoting religious orders, Church and state decorations and appointments only; academic degrees, professional qualifications and affiliation with other organisations are not indicated.

With the gradual depopulation of formerly densely packed inner urban areas, a number of parishes have been closed. Some parishes had earlier churches on different sites. Other parishes had changes made in their dedication. Some churches were built as chapels-of-ease and never became parishes in their own right. Other churches are now merged into a neighbouring parish. Sacramental registers of closed churches are normally located in the neighbouring church identified below.

OBITUARIES

Monsignor George Mooney (1927–2024)

George Joseph Mooney was born in Liverpool on 5 August 1927, the son of George and Helen Mooney (née Harrison). Together with his older brother Francis, who would also serve as a priest of the archdiocese, he spent his early years in Aintree, attending Blessed Sacrament Primary School, before going on to St Mary’s College, Crosby. He was accepted as a seminarian and received his priestly formation at St Joseph’s College, Upholland. He was ordained to the priesthood in the college chapel on 12 June 1954, one of sixteen ordained that day by Archbishop Godfrey.

The newly ordained Fr Mooney was not given a curacy like most of his contemporaries. Rather, he was sent to Rome to study canon law at the Gregorian University, whilst residing at the Beda College. After two years’ study, he returned to the archdiocese replete with his licentiate in canon law.

In September 1956, he was appointed as fourth curate in the busy city parish of St Patrick, Park Place, conveniently situated for his other work as a notary in the Metropolitan Tribunal. This was a well-considered appointment, given that his first parish priest, Monsignor Laurence Curry, was Officialis at the time. He remained at St Patrick’s until January 1960, when he was appointed as an assistant chaplain with the Apostleship of the Sea, based at Atlantic House on Hardman Street, Liverpool. He returned to parish life in October 1963, upon his appointment as curate in the fledgling parish of St Finbar in the Dingle area of the city.

In January 1966, Archbishop Beck appointed Fr Mooney as Chancellor of the archdiocese and as chaplain to the Canonesses Regular of St Augustine at Park House Nursing Home, Waterloo. With the opening of the Metropolitan Cathedral in 1967, he was appointed to the cathedral staff. At the same time Pope Paul VI named him a Privy Chamberlain, with the title of Monsignor. He remained at the cathedral until September 1975, when he was appointed as Pastoral Director for the archdiocese, as well as being for a short time chaplain at the Blind School.

With the arrival of a new archbishop in March 1976, several changes were made to the governance structures of the archdiocese. Archbishop Worlock established an Archbishop’s Council to assist him in his governance of the archdiocese. Monsignor Mooney was among its first members in his role as Episcopal Vicar for Pastoral Affairs. Simultaneously, he was appointed as parish priest of Our Lady of Good Help, Wavertree. He also relinquished the post of Chancellor, an office in which he had served with great distinction for the previous 11 years, assisting both Archbishop Beck and Archbishop Worlock in their governance of the archdiocese.

In June 1983, he was appointed as parish priest of Ss Peter and Paul, Crosby, and continued to serve as episcopal vicar. Four years later, in June 1987, he was appointed by Pope John Paul II as a Prelate of Honour. Thereafter, he continued to serve his parishioners at Crosby with great dedication for a further 10 years until his retirement in 1997.

Retiring a little earlier than most priests, he enjoyed more than 25 years of retirement, though he continued to supply regularly in parishes as the need arose. In retirement he made his home near to St Gregory’s church in Lydiate, until he became too frail to live independently. He then moved into the presbytery at Our Lady’s, Lydiate, before spending his final months in a nursing home.

Monsignor Mooney died peacefully in the early hours of Saturday 27 January 2024, aged 96 years and in the 70th year of the priesthood, just a few months short of his platinum jubilee. May he rest in peace.

Clergy

Canon Vincent Burrowes (1926–2024)

Vincent Richard Burrowes, the son of James and Hannah Burrowes, was born in Liverpool on 3 December 1926. He received his early education at various schools in Liverpool – the Notre Dame Demonstration School, St Matthew’s School, and St Edward’s College – before entering St Joseph’s College, Upholland, to begin his seminary formation. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Joseph Halsall in the college chapel at Upholland on 30 May 1953.

Following ordination, he served as assistant priest in several parishes across the archdiocese: St Marie, Standish (August 1953); Holy Cross, St Helens (January 1960); St Margaret Mary, Liverpool (April 1962), and St Anne, Liverpool (October 1964). In June 1967, he moved to the newly opened Metropolitan Cathedral as bursar, and the following year he was appointed by Archbishop Beck as administrator of the building fund.

Archbishop Derek Worlock introduced the office of episcopal vicar to the archdiocesan structure within a year of his appointment. Thus, Fr Burrowes was appointed as Episcopal Vicar for Finance and Development in February 1977. At the same time, he left the cathedral and took up residence at Our Lady of Good Help, Wavertree. In May 1977, he was appointed as an honorary canon, and was promoted to the Metropolitan Cathedral Chapter in March 1980.

In the summer of 1980, he took up his first appointment as parish priest, moving to St Paul, West Derby. Though he now had parochial responsibilities, he continued in office as episcopal vicar until the appointment of Fr Michael McKenna in 1983. He remained at St Paul’s for a further nine years, enjoying a fruitful and happy ministry in this busy parish. In September 1992 he moved out of Liverpool for the first time in more than 30 years, as he took up appointment as parish priest at St Lewis, Croft. There he remained until his retirement in 2005.

In retirement he lived in Southport until the final year of his life, when his increased frailty necessitated a move to nursing home in St Helens. He died on Wednesday 28 February 2024. He was 97 years old and in the 71st year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Father Barry McAllister (1960–2024)

Patrick Barry McAllister, the son of Patrick and Catherine McAllister, was born in Wigan on 21 March 1960. He received his early education at St Mary’s School, Wigan, and St John Rigby Grammar School (and later Sixth Form College), Orrell, before entering Ushaw College, to begin his seminary formation. He was ordained to the priesthood at St Mary, Wigan, by Archbishop Derek Worlock on 6 December 1986.

Following ordination, Fr McAllister served as assistant priest in several parishes across the archdiocese: St Cuthbert, Pemberton (1986-88); Sacred Heart and St Alban, Warrington (1988-95); and briefly at St Mary, Chorley, in early 1995.

In September 1995, he took up his first appointment as parish priest, moving to St Elizabeth, Litherland. Like many priests, he was asked to take on additional responsibility for another parish. Thus, in September 2011, he became parish priest of St Robert Bellarmine, Bootle, as well. He proved to be a dedicated, zealous, and kindly pastor, devoting the remainder of his priestly ministry to the people of these parishes. His parishioners were blessed with someone genuinely interested in their lives, possessed of a good memory and a ready wit, and with a great gift for listening. His brother priests, too, held him in very high regard, so that he served successive terms as the local dean between 2006 and 2021.

Clergy

His strong faith sustained him as he faced treatment for cancer, and the eventual terminal diagnosis, with immense courage and patience. He died at Wigan and Leigh Hospice in the evening of Friday 22 March 2024, the day after his 64th birthday. He was in the 38th year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Father John Johnson (1938–2024)

John Johnson, the son of Thomas and Mary Johnson, was born in Wigan on 6 September 1938. He was educated at St Joseph’s School, Wigan, until the age of 15, when he left to become apprenticed as a butcher at Smales’ in Wigan market. When he was 21, he then went to Campion House, Osterley, for two years, before entering Upholland College in 1961 to begin his formation for the priesthood. He was ordained priest on 20 May 1967 by Archbishop Hyginus Cardinale, the Apostolic Delegate, at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, a few days after its solemn consecration.

Following ordination, Fr Johnson served as assistant priest in several parishes across the archdiocese: St Agnes, Huyton (1967-74); Holy Ghost, Ford (1974-78); and St Oswald, Ashton-in-Makerfield (1978-86).

In March 1986, he took up his first appointment as parish priest, moving to the parish of St William, Ince, where he spent five happy years ministering with great dedication and sensitivity to the faithful entrusted to his care. He brought that same dedication to his most significant parish appointment, when he returned to his native town in September 1991 to become parish priest of St Mary, Wigan. For several years he also had the pastoral care of two adjacent Wigan parishes: St John (2000-17) and Sacred Heart (2009-14).

For more than 30 years he provided devoted care to his parishioners, and to the countless others who came to his town centre parish for Mass and confession. He was noted for his great devotedness to Our Blessed Lady, leading parish pilgrimages to Walsingham and promoting the Rosa Mystica devotion. Fr Johnson also provided great support and encouragement to those discerning a vocation to the priesthood. Three priests were ordained at St Mary’s, Wigan, during his tenure as parish priest.

Such was Fr Johnson’s dedication as a priest that he had expressed the wish to die ‘in harness’. That wish was not fulfilled, as he was forced to resign as parish priest, following surgery and a marked deterioration in his physical health, in the early part of 2024. He died at Wigan and Leigh Hospice on Wednesday 3 April 2024, aged 85 years. He was in the 57th year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Father Malcolm Prince (1950–2024)

Malcolm Joseph Patrick Prince was born in Wythenshawe on 17 March 1950. He received his early education at Ss John Fisher and Thomas More School, Wythenshawe, All Hallows Secondary School, Manchester, and St Edward’s College, Market Drayton. He entered the novitiate of the Brothers of Christian Instruction (De La Mennais Brothers) at Jersey in July 1967, before going to study at the Mater Dei Institute of Education in Dublin, where he gained a diploma in religious education. His years as a teaching Brother were all spent in Liverpool: St Joseph’s Preparatory School, Woolton, (1971-73) and St Francis Xavier College (1973-77). In 1977, he was released by his congregation to read for a degree in theology and politics at the University of Bristol, and whilst there he applied to the archdiocese for consideration as a candidate for the priesthood. He completed his formation at All Hallows,

Clergy

Dublin, and he was ordained to the priesthood at St Alban’s, Warrington, by Archbishop Derek Worlock on 25 September 1982.

Following ordination, Fr Prince was appointed to the parish of St James, Orrell, and unsurprisingly was given the additional role of chaplain at St Peter’s High School and St John Rigby Sixth Form College, both of which were located within the parish. In April 1986, he took on a different form of chaplaincy at Liverpool Polytechnic. During his time at the polytechnic, he was also administrator at St Mary’s, Highfield Street (1986-88) and then in residence at the Metropolitan Cathedral (1988-1991).

In September 1991, he took up his first appointment as parish priest, moving to St Swithin, Gilmoss. After almost 11 years, he was asked to move to St Luke, Whiston, as parish priest, and to be a chaplain at Whiston Hospital. In September 2011, he moved to Widnes and became parish priest of the parishes of St Marie and St John Fisher. When the new parish of St Wilfrid was established in 2015, he was one of several parish priests in solidum appointed to provide pastoral care. His final appointment came in February 2017, when he took up the position of parish priest at St Joseph, Penketh.

Sadly, his ministry in Penketh was cut short when he had a stroke in 2018 and was forced to retire from active ministry. He was cared for at Nazareth House, Crosby, during most of his retirement. He died on Tuesday 30 July 2024, aged 74 years, in the 42nd year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Monsignor Michael McKenna (1937–2024)

For a whole generation of priests, Monsignor Michael McKenna will be remembered as a key figure in the life of the Archdiocese of Liverpool. In his role as Episcopal Vicar for Finance and Development, between 1983 and 1999, he did so much to stabilise and improve the finances of the archdiocese, as well as working tirelessly to alleviate the stresses borne by parish priests in parishes burdened by debt. Though without doubt financially astute, he was above all motivated by a pastoral heart that cared deeply about the wellbeing of his brother priests.

He encountered many of these problems at first hand during his second appointment as a priest. In August 1967, he was appointed as a curate to Monsignor Tom Barry in Skelmersdale, which had been designated as a new town in 1961. This was a time of rapid expansion, with families moving from Liverpool with the promise of employment in the new factories of Courtaulds, Dunlop, and Thorn EMI. With a young population, the Church prioritised the building of schools, and these became community hubs. Fr Michael spent many years mopping floors and putting out chairs after Saturday evening socials, and stacking them away after Sunday Mass, ready for school the next day.

Following the appointment of Archbishop Derek Worlock in 1976, the drive to establish several distinct parishes within the new town was reversed. Under the leadership of Fr Kevin Finn, a team ministry was established with several priests working together with some very dedicated and enthusiastic headteachers and teachers. By this stage many of the major employers, who had been drawn to Skelmersdale by generous financial incentives, pulled out when the incentives were withdrawn. As a consequence, many factories closed, and unemployment reached 40% at one stage. Fr Michael responded to this crisis with a project that came to be known as ‘Tomorrow’s People Today’. With considerable funding from central government, he established a programme of job creation. His vision and enterprise enabled many young people to take their first steps into the world of work. It is not surprising that his gifts came to be recognised by Archbishop Worlock, who appointed him to succeed Canon Vincent Burrowes as Episcopal Vicar for Finance and Development.

Clergy

He was responsible for establishing the offset-banking system, whereby parishes in debt did not pay interest on the overdraft and parishes in credit sacrificed a percentage of the interest to which they were entitled. Fr Michael was always careful to acknowledge that the idea came from Monsignor Joe Gibb, for many years the archdiocesan treasurer. He challenged breweries to write off existing debts on individual parish clubs in return for an advantageous central purchasing arrangement. Provisions for priests set up in his time included the George Andrew Fund and healthcare arrangements to provide for the sick and retired priests of the archdiocese. Many will remember his work in helping to set up an interdiocesan car scheme for priests, and Interdiocesan Fuel Management Limited (IFM) to negotiate gas and electricity tariffs with suppliers.

Though he worked most of his days in the curial offices on Brownlow Hill, he spent many evenings visiting parish priests to help them negotiate the bureaucracy generated by the increasing demands of the Charity Commission, Inland Revenue, and HM Customs and Excise. It was this aspect of his work that gave him the most satisfaction.

In addition to his work within the archdiocese, Monsignor McKenna advised many others within the Church in England and Wales. For many years after he ceased to be episcopal vicar, he continued to do work for, and to advise, the Bishops’ Conference. His friendship with Albert Gubay, an Isle of Man resident and construction and retail magnate, resulted in Mr Gubay leaving the bulk of his wealth in trust for charitable purposes when he died in 2016. The Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation has since funded many Catholic projects throughout England and Wales.

In recognition of his service to the Church, he was made a Chaplain of His Holiness in 1987, and a Prelate of Honour in 1992.

Michael McKenna was born in Liverpool on 18 May 1937, the son of Vincent and Grace McKenna. After the death of his mother, he was largely brought up by Marie McKenna, one of his aunts. He received his early education at St Charles’ School, Aigburth, and then at St Francis Xavier’s College. On 9 September 1950, he entered St Joseph’s College, Upholland, alongside 30 boys of similar age, to begin his training for the priesthood according to the traditional model of the pre-Conciliar Church. Six of these, including Michael, were ordained priest in the college chapel by Archbishop John Carmel Heenan on 8 June 1963. They were ordained during the period of the Second Vatican Council and began their priestly ministry amidst a period of significant development.

Following ordination, Fr McKenna was appointed to the parish of Ss Peter and Paul in Crosby, assisting Mgr Joseph Turner, who had been the seminary rector at Upholland for the first eight years of his training. After four years in the long-established parish at Crosby, he moved to the new town of Skelmersdale to immerse himself in the establishment of new parishes communities and in the development of team ministry. During his time as episcopal vicar, he was administrator at St Mary’s, Highfield Street in Liverpool for a short period. Subsequently, he was chaplain to the Redemptoristine Sisters at Gillmoss, whilst living in Upholland.

He returned to parish ministry in 2000, succeeding Canon Dick Firth as parish priest at St Gregory, Chorley, where he relished the contact with parishioners again. Speaking of those to whom he brought Holy Communion at home, he remarked that, ‘If I ever get to heaven, it will be because of them.’ He had a great capacity for friendship, maintaining many lifelong friendships with his distinctive handwritten cards, even as his eyesight was failing. In 2016, he retired from active ministry, moving the few yards to the lodge at the end of the drive at Weld Bank.

He died on Friday 23 August 2024, aged 87 years, in the 62nd year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Clergy

Father Dunstan Harrington (1950–2024)

Dunstan William Bede Harrington was born in Bradford on 27 May 1950, the son of Bartholomew and Joan Harrington. He was named after both the house and school at St Bede’s College, Bradford, where his maternal grandfather had taught for many years. Dunstan, however, was educated elsewhere, firstly at St Malachy’s Infant and Junior Schools in Halifax, where his father was headmaster, then at St Gregory’s Grammar School in Huddersfield, and finally at St Mary’s College, Crosby, for his sixth-form studies. After studying civil engineering at Leeds University, and following a course at Liverpool Polytechnic, he began working for Royal Insurance, where he completed the qualifications necessary to become a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute. His remarkable ability to do mental arithmetic was notable in his time with Royal Insurance.

In his late twenties, he became quite involved with Speakeasy, a discussion and music group for young people, in his parish at St William of York, Thornton. Thoughts of a priestly vocation developed, and, despite his own sense of unworthiness, he was told by an old family friend that he was aiming for ordination not canonisation. He was accepted as a student for the priesthood, completing his seminary formation at St Cuthbert’s College, Ushaw, and at the Beda College in Rome. Archbishop Worlock ordained him to the priesthood at St William of York, Thornton, on 10 June 1989.

Following ordination, he served briefly as assistant priest to Fr Alex Fleming at St Francis of Assisi, Garston (1989-90) and to Canon Peter Wilkinson at St Clare, Sefton Park (1990-91). In November 1991, he was asked to move to St Luke, Whiston, to join the team led by Fr Tony Reynolds in St Luke’s parish and to help provide chaplaincy cover at Whiston Hospital.

In February 1996, he returned to the south end of Liverpool as he took up his first appointment as parish priest at St Hugh of Lincoln, Wavertree. The parish included the aptly named St Dunstan’s Village, a modern estate that had replaced several streets of Victorian terraced houses. Before long, he acquired a black labrador called Hugh, becoming a familiar figure in the streets around the church. There were many who received discreet acts of kindness from him during his time in this part of the city, not least an asylum-seeking family in difficulty.

In November 2002, he was asked to move back to what had been his home parish in the archdiocese, and where his mother still lived at the time, as he was appointed to St William of York, Thornton. From 2006, he also had responsibility for the parish of St Mary, Little Crosby. This proved to be Fr Dunstan’s longest appointment, as he ministered faithfully in this area for more than twenty years. A tribute issued by Holy Family High School, Thornton, observed that, ‘Fr Dunstan’s unwavering faith, tireless work ethic, and compassionate spirit touched the lives of many.’

Throughout his life, Fr Dunstan retained a love of the Yorkshire countryside, often heading back to the Pennines. He particularly enjoyed returning to the Worth Valley, where he could indulge his lifelong interest in steam engines. For many years he was a member of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society, and he spent many hours during his student days helping to restore steam engines.

He died suddenly at home on Sunday 10 November 2024, aged 74 years, in the 36th year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Clergy

Father Joseph Robinson (1938–2024)

Joseph Anthony Robinson was born in Liverpool on 9 March 1938, the son of William and Jennie Robinson. He attended St Vincent’s Primary School in the city, before entering the junior seminary at Upholland. After completing his philosophical and theological studies in the senior seminary, he was ordained in the college chapel at Upholland by Archbishop Heenan on 8 June 1963.

Following ordination, he served as a curate in several parishes across the archdiocese: Sacred Heart, St Helens (1963-70); St Hugh of Lincoln, Wavertree (1970-71); St Sebastian, Liverpool (1971-74); St George, Maghull (1974-80), where he had chaplaincy responsibilities at Maricourt High School; and St Aidan, Huyton (1980-82).

In December 1982, he took up his first appointment as parish priest at St Peter and St Michael, Woolston. For the next decade he ministered contentedly in this parish. When the time came for him to move to his next appointment, Bishop Vincent Malone observed that, ‘All the signs had been of a quietly happy parish getting on with its twentieth century duties with some imagination and a lot of affection.’ His second appointment as parish priest was at St Julie, Eccleston (199296) and his letter from Bishop Malone encouraged him ‘to take particular care of your episcopal parishioner’. This was, of course, alluding to the fact that Bishop Kevin O’Connor lived in the parish. Fr Robinson was blessed, too, by the presence of the Carmelite monastery within his parish, though he was never the designated chaplain to the nuns.

In October 1996, he moved to St John, Burscough, to take up what would become his final appointment as parish priest. He was clearly very happy and content in this more rural parish, as he stayed for the next twenty years until his retirement in 2016. To the parish at Burscough he brought his characteristic fidelity and kindliness, as well as overseeing a significant reordering of the church.

In retirement he lived at St George’s Court in Maghull, joining a small community of retired priests living in the flats next to St George’s church. He died peacefully in the early evening of Thursday 21 November 2024, aged 86 years and in the 62nd year of the priesthood. May he rest in peace.

Legion of Mary

A worldwide apostolic organisation for men and women, normally parish-based. The primary work of the Legion of Mary is that of the Church, to evangelise. Active members meet weekly to pray together, learn more about the faith, and organise visits to the sick and isolated in the parish under the direction of the parish priest, all in union with Our Lady. Coming together in this way helps members to discover and deepen the joy of the Gospel message. It builds a sense of community and inspires greater confidence and enthusiasm for living and sharing the Gospel message with others. In their work, members invite others to become active in parish life, gently encourage those who have lapsed to return to the practice of their faith, and invite those outside the Church to discover the treasures of the Catholic faith. Auxiliary members support the work of the Legion of Mary by a commitment to prayer.
