Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary was founded in Dublin, Ireland on 7 September 1921. It is a lay Catholic organization whose members are giving service to the Church on a voluntary basis in almost every country. The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work.

The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium.

The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through the visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish.

Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.

The Legion of Mary of St. Peter's Cathedral meets every Saturday at 1 PM in St. Andre Bessette Room, St. Michael's Parish (511 Cheapside Street).

Prayer Shawl

A spirit of compassion and love, and the enjoyment of knitting and/or crocheting are all that is required to be a part of this ministry. Shawls are created in combination with prayers and blessings, then given without cost to those who are celebrating a joyous occasion or who may be experiencing a time of difficulty or sorrow.

Since the beginning of Prayer Shawl Ministry at St. Peter's Cathedral in 2007, prayer shawls have been distributed to our parishioners as well as to individuals within and outside of the London community. Each Lenten Season we take on a Project of Love, and have donated prayer shawls to groups such as St. Vincent de Paul, London Hospice, and the Franciscans of Emmanuel in Montreal in support of their ministry to troubled youth and for their mission hospital in Cameroon, Africa. Novice and experienced knitters and crocheters are always welcome to join us in our circle of contemplative prayer in the crafting of prayer shawls.
