What is the Junior Legion of Mary?
The Junior Legion is an organization for the spiritual development of persons in High School. The group grows in spirituality and partakes in spiritual acts of mercy. This will prepare the youth to become part of the apostolate of the Senior Legion of Mary and productive members of the Catholic Church while striving to achieve their own sanctification.
 
What does the Junior Legion of Mary do?
Each member must do at least one hour of work each week. This work is assigned at the weekly meeting which all members must attend. Junior Legion Praesidia have been found to be valuable in the work that they do in parishes. Junior Legionaries may teach catechism to young children, visit the sick and elderly, make rosaries and brown scapulars, etc. Age of the member is considered when work is assigned. There is something for everyone! 
 
What benefits can the Junior Legion of Mary bring?
TO OUR PARISH: It forms a spiritual army of youth within the parish of St. Luke. Many worthwhile tasks are performed, which would otherwise be neglected. As a consequence, more blessings are earned, more graces are gained, and more souls are saved.
 
TO OUR YOUTH: A unique opportunity for spiritual growth is given. No other organization offers a daily program of prayer, a weekly work assignment and the discipline of a meeting each week. In crucial years when formation is so essential, the Junior Legion develops confidence, spiritual and mental growth of the personality. Junior Legionaries stand to gain everything they freely give in service to Mary. 

TO OUR CHURCH: Lay Apostles are wanted and needed. A firm spiritual foundation given to our youth will insure a source of supply of Lay Apostles for years to come. As Junior Legionaries, our youth are taught to give to their Church as productive members, rather than to wait for what they can receive. The Junior Legion forms good Catholics now, and better Catholics tomorrow.
