Junior Legion of Mary
Principal Maria Byrd is leading a Junior Legion of Mary and invites all Catholic students entering grades four to nine to join. The group teaches children about the Catholic faith and encourages them to develop a personal relationship with God and the Holy Trinity through Mary, spouse of the Holy Spirit. They are taught to spiritualize everything around them and to see and serve Christ in everyone they meet. They minister to the community by visiting nursing homes, where they also recite the rosary with residents; take statues of the Virgin Mary to homes of people who request it and pray with them; make and distribute cards and rosaries; and attend public events to represent the group. The SJS Junior Legion of Mary will meet from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays in the STEM lab. If your child is interested, please email mbyrd@sjswv.org.
