Parish information
Meetings, membership and safeguarding
How the Legion worksThe praesidium and weekly meeting＋
The basic unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium. Its weekly meeting combines prayer, reports and discussion as members reflect on their apostolic work.
The former parish page said the local Legion met on Tuesdays at 6.00pm in the Newman Room and held a Patrician meeting once a month. Because that information is historical, visitors should confirm current arrangements with the parish.
Joining the LegionWelcome, interview and DBS requirements＋
The Legion welcomes new members. Because some work involves vulnerable people, the parish page states that prospective members need an interview and a DBS check, and must follow safeguarding expectations including confidentiality.
Centenary archive100 years of the Legion of Mary＋
The parish page marked the Legion’s centenary in 2021 as a time of joy, celebration and thanksgiving.
