The purpose of Legion of Mary is three-fold:

To enable its members to become better Catholics and to mobilize the Catholic laity
To raise the Spiritual level of the entire community through direct contact with and interest in every member and potential member of the Mystical Body of Christ
To accomplish this through Mary, Mother of Souls and Mediatrix of all Grace

Address delivered by the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, to a group of Italian legionaries on 30th October 1982:

“Yours is an eminently Marian spirituality, not only because the Legion glories in carrying Mary‘s name as its unfurled banner, but above all because it bases its method of spirituality and apostolate on the dynamic principle of union with Mary, on the truth of the intimate participation of the Virgin Mary in the plan of salvation. In other words, you intend to render your service to every person, who is the image of Christ, with the spirit and the solicitude of Mary.”
