His idea was to est.

Contacts The legionaries first started out by visiting hospitals, but they were soon active among the most destitute, notably among Dublin prostitutes. Frank Duff subsequently laid down the system of Ron Jimenez (916) 424-4313 the Legion in the Handbook of the Legion of Mary in 1928. Ed Rogala (916) 456-6768 The Legion of Mary soon spread from Ireland to other countries and continents. At first, the Legion often met with mistrust due to its dedication to lay apostolate which was unusual for the time. Only after Pope Pius XI expressed praise for the Legion in 1931, could such mistrust be quelled. Meeting Dates and Times Most prominent for spreading the Legion was the Irish legionary Venerable Edel Mary Quinn for her activities in Africa during the 1930s and 40s.

The praesidium, usually a group of 4-20 members, meets weekly in its parish. The Curia is the next level up, and one Curia supervises several Prae- sidia. The next level is the Comitium, which is in charge of several Curiae, usually over an area like a medium city or a part of a province. The following level is the Regia, in charge of larger territories like a province or state (in the U.S. and Brazil). The Senatus is the next highest level, Inside this issue: and it generally has control over the Regiae in a very large area, usually a country or very large territory. The Concilium is the highest level. It has its seat in Dublin, Ireland, and has control over all of the Legion. Legion of Mary 1 Each level of the Legion of Mary has the same officers: The President, the Vice President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Spiritual director. The latter must be a priest or a religious. All Grand Knight’s Report 2 other offices are held by laymen or women.

Before you make that assumption, do some basic research and apply for coverage through the Knights of Co- lumbus. The Order's Income Armor product gives you options that can help you fit this critical protection into your risk management budget. For example, here are 2 ways you can reduce your premium: 1. Choose a 2-year or 5-year maximum benefit period. Depending on your age, the best option is probably a policy that pays benefits until you reach age 67. But a 2-year or 5-year maximum benefit period would cover many types of partial or total disabilities you might encounter in your working life. 2. Choose a longer elimination period. An elimination period is the number of days a total disability must exist before benefits begin to accrue. Typical elimination periods are 90, or 180 days. Choosing a longer elimination period low- ers the policy's premium. But be sure you have enough set aside in the contingency fund of your business to ac- count for the longer gap. As your professional insurance agent, running a small business and the challenges of risk management are two of my specialties. Let's talk about how to protect your business income, you retirement needs, and your family's financial fu- ture. Fraternally yours, Justin Tanjuaquio, FICF (916) 726-0981 CA LIC 0C46842 [email protected] St. Robert Ministry Our Legion of Mary Saint Robert has their very own Legion of Mary praesidium dedicated to honoring and serving the ministry of Our Lady. They currently meet on Thursday evenings at the Mercy-St. Louis Social Center. All members dedicate their time and prayer for the intentions of Mary, Mother of God and how those intentions can best minister to the Saint Robert community. Their allegiance is to Our Lady and the Holy Spirit. If you are interested in how the organization runs and what the membership requirements are please feel free to con- tact Hortencia Morales at (916) 421-1227 or email her at [email protected].
