“To Jesus, Through Mary”
Welcome to the Official Website of the Legion of Mary Toronto Senatus
WHO WE ARE
The Legion of Mary is a worldwide Catholic association volunteers, founded in Ireland in 1921, started in Canada in 1932 and was brought to Toronto in 1934. The Legion has been endorsed by the last seven Popes and is aligned with the Second Vatican Council’s emphasis on lay apostleship. Membership in 2021 is estimated at 4 million active and 5 million auxiliaries across 170 countries.
The Legion aims to increase the holiness of its members through prayer and study of the faith, to serve Jesus in the community through the works of mercy and in effect, to be living copies of Mary.
