Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary is the largest lay apostolate in the Catholic Church, consisting of an army of faithful for Our Lady. Our little Praesidium here at Ave Maria University is a part of that – our foremost goal is that we ourselves might grow in holiness, bringing our peers to Christ through Our Lady along the way. We seek to live and continually strengthen our Marian consecration by devotion to the Rosary, the Miraculous Medal, and the spiritual works of mercy. Our Praesidium carries out the Legion of Mary's apostolate at the University and in the town of Ave.
