The Legion of Mary
What is it?
The Legion of Mary is an organization for lay Catholics. Frank Duff founded it in Dublin in 1921 and it now has branches in almost every country in the world. Its headquarters are in North Brunswick Street Dublin.
Frank Duff recognized the important role, which develops, on people; through Baptism, to live an Apostolic life and in the Legion of Mary he provided a structure of prayer and work whereby members can fulfil that role
What does it entail?
Active membership entails attending a weekly meeting and performing two hours apostolic work each week. Work is assigned at the meeting and is always done in pairs. Members place themselves in Our Lady's hands, recognizing that she has no hands but ours, no feet but ours, no voice but ours to carry out her motherly role of tending Christ's needs in everybody.
Please come along to our meeting on Tuesday at 11:00AM in the Parish Pastoral Centre and see how you too could allow Our Lady continue her work of caring for souls through your generosity of giving her a few hours each week.
The Servant of God Frank Duff
(7th June 1889 - 7th November 1980)
Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God Frank Duff
God our father,
You inspired your servant Frank Duff with a profound insight into the mystery of your Church,
the Body of Christ, and of the place of Mary the Mother of Jesus in this mystery.
In his immense desire to share this insight with others and in filial dependence on Mary he formed Her Legion
to be a sign of her maternal love for the world and a means of enlisting all her children in the Church's
evangelising work.
We thank you Father for the graces conferred on him and for the benefits accruing to the Church from
his courageous and shining faith.
With confidence we beg you that through his intercession you grant the petition we lay before you...
We ask too if it be in accordance with your will, the holiness of his life may be acknowledged by The Church
for the glory of your Name, through Christ our Lord, Amen
With ecclesiastical approval

Venerable Edel Quinn
(14th September 1907 - 12th May 1944)
On 15 December 1994 Pope John Paul II declared Edel Quinn "Venerable"
Prayer for the Beatification of Venerable Edel Quinn
Eternal Father, I thank you for the grace you gave to your servant, Edel Quinn, of striving to live
always in the joy of your presence, for the radiant charity infused into her heart by your Holy Spirit, and for the strength
she drew from the Bread of Life to labour until death for the glory of your name, in loving dependence on Mary, Mother of
the Church.
Confident, O Merciful Father, that her life was pleasing to you, I beg you to grant me, through her intercession, the
special favour I now implore..., and to make known by miracles the glory she enjoys in Heaven, so that she may be
glorified also by your Church on earth, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

O God, who by your infinite mercy inflamed the heart of your servant,
Alphonsus Lambe with an ardent love for you and for Mary, our Mother; a love which revealed

merits, We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen
