The Legion of Mary has begun at Holy Ghost. All are welcome to come and see. The group at Holy Ghost is called “Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament” Praesidia. Fr. Finelli chose the name because our Catholic faith has two important legs – the Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Standing on these two legs, we can be assured of our growth in the spiritual life and Christian virtue.
