Bring Peace, Joy, and Love into Your Home
Enthroning the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a simple and beautiful way to invite His love and protection into your family. It transforms your home into a place of faith, unity, and peace — where Jesus is truly a part of daily life.
This devotion comes from Jesus Himself, asking us to welcome Him as King of our hearts and homes.
If you’d like to learn more about how to enthrone your home to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, please email miltonlegionofmary@gmail.com. A member of the Legion of Mary will be happy to contact you.

What is it?
The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church, with well over 3 million active members in almost every country in the world. It has been active in the US since 1931, has been approved by the last six 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.
What does it do?
Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of prayer and service. Works include door to door evangelization, parishioner visitation, visitation of the sick or aged, crowd contact, religious education, Pilgrim Virgin Statue rotations, and meeting the other spiritual needs of the parish community. Legionaries are under the guidance of a spiritual director. The Legion is, in essence, an extension of the heart and hands of the pastor.
How does it work?
Members meet once a week for prayer planning and discussion. They do two hours of definite work each week in pairs and under the guidance of their spiritual director.
Who can belong?
The Legion of Mary is open to all Catholics who:
-
Faithfully practice their religion
-
Are animated by the desire to participate in the Church’s apostolate through membership in the Legion
-
Are prepared to fulfill each and every duty which active membership in the Legion involves
