Legion of Mary Handbook

The Legion handbook was mostly written by Frank Duff and it is full of his wisdom, insights and of course instructions on how to be a good Legionary of Mary. It is available here as a PDF file and also as a Microsoft Word webpage which we hope to upgrade later on.

It is imperative that every member should study the handbook thoroughly. It is the official exposition of the Legion. It contains in briefest possible compass what it is important that every properly equipped legionary should know of the principles, the laws, the methods and the spirit of the organisation. Members - and in particular officers - who do not know the handbook cannot possibly work the system properly; while, on the other hand, increased knowledge will always bring increased efficiency. The unusual feature will be presented of interest growing with time, and quality with quantity.
