The Legion of Mary was born on the first vespers of the Nativity of Mary, September 7, 1921, in Dublin, Ireland. It  is now the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with about 3 million active members in over 160 countries around the world. The Legion of Mary has been active in the United States (USA) since 1931, has been approved by 7 Popes, and was endorsed by the Second Vatican Council.

The main purpose of the Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members. Members of the Legion of Mary become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer, the sacraments and devotion to Mary and the Trinity, and service in a family atmosphere. Legionaries are under the guidance of a spiritual director named by the pastor. The Legion of Mary is, in essence, an extension of the heart and hands of the pastor.
 The apostolic works of the Legion of Mary include:

• New parishioner visitation
• Visitation of the sick or aged
• Religious Education
• Sacred Heart Enthronement
• Pilgrim Virgin Statue Visits
• Door-to-door evangelization
• Meeting other spiritual needs of the Parish under guidance of a Spiritual Director.

The praesidium of the Legion of Mary at St. Cyprian is Our Lady of Guadalupe.
We meet weekly after the 12:10PM daily Mass in Conference Room #1.
