What is the Legion of Mary
“The Legion of Mary is an Association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of all Graces (who is fair as the moon, bright as the sun, and - to satan and his legionaries - terrible as an army set in battle array), have formed themselves into a Legion for service in the warfare which is perpetually waged by the Church against the world and its evil powers.”, from the Legion of Mary handbook.
When and where do we meet?
We met every Tuesday at 7:00 pm in Room #2 of the Parish hall of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. The meeting usually lasts about an hour. We say the legion prayers, including the Rosary and then discuss the works done by the legionaries during the week.
What do we do?
Our primary duty is to assist the pastor in the needs of the parish. At SEAS, we visit the newly registered parishioners, take a crib medal to the newly baptized children, visit the orange county juvenile hall and perform detention ministry, take communion to the sick and elderly in our parish, conduct communion services, etc.

Government of the Legion
The governing council of the Legion is the CONCILIUM LEGIONIS who are based in Dublin, Ireland where the Legion was formed. The Legion in our Parish reports to the South Orange County English Curia who in turn report to the Los Angeles Senatus which then reports to the Concilium. We are a world-wide organization and were founded by Frank Duff in 1921 in Dublin, Ireland. The legion was founded in our parish in 1976 and has been existence for over 25 years.
