Legion of Mary
A conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was meeting in Dublin, Ireland around 1917 when a number of ladies were asked to help the St. Vincent de Paul Brothers in serving free breakfasts to poor children on Sundays. After some time, the breakfasts were discontinued but the women continued meeting regularly on Sundays until 1921.
On the evening of September 7, 1921, fifteen of the ladies met with Mr. Frank Duff and Father Tohler. Those seventeen people began to map out the Legion of Mary. They decided on weekly meetings and weekly active work. As work, they decided to undertake the systematic visitation of the Dublin Union Hospital, visiting in pairs. They decided that they would also undertake apostolic work each week, which had to be substantial. A President and a Secretary were appointed. So with the first Vespers of Our Lady’s birthday the Legion of Mary was ushered into the world. Mr. Frank Duff continued to be a guiding light for the Legion until his death in 1980.
Our Purpose:
The objective of the Legion of Mary is to; (1) make its members better Catholics and to mobilize the Catholic laity, (2) raise the spiritual level of the entire community through direct contact with and interest in every member and potential member of the Mystical Body of Christ, and (3) accomplish this through Mary, Mother of Souls and Mediatrix of All Grace.

Cursillo Movement
To explain Cursillo to someone who has never experienced Cursillo is at best, difficuit. Often, for those who have experienced Cursillo, it is still somewhat mystifying. This is not because the Cursillo Movement is a "secret" organization. The reason behind the mystery is God. No one can fully explain how God touches each person in His special/unique way throughout the various elements of the Cursillo Movement. The proper name is Cursillo de Cristiandad (short course of Christianity).
The Cursillo Movement is an official movement of the Catholic Church. The name Cursillo is Spanish, meaning short course, and is often associated with a 3-Day weekend - which is only one aspect of the Cursillo Movement. Cursillo provides us the opportunity to meet with others who can help us on our journey in different types of group reunions. The Cursillo Movement has several very important tools to assist each of us.
