 About:  “To serve and not be served” was the motto of our founder Bro. Frank Duff. The association of the Legion of Mary which was founded by him on September 07, 1921, in Dublin, Ireland has diligently abided by this motto over the past 90 years of its existence to serve the needy and downtrodden and follow the footsteps of Jesus under the banner of Mary our mother. This is a lay apostolic organization at the service of the church, under ecclesiastical guidance. Its two-fold purpose is the spiritual development of its members and advancing the reign of Christ in the world through the maternal intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church. The Legion today is spread far and wide in all 5 continents and across the length and breadth of our country.

​

The torch of the Legion has been aflame in our parish for more than 6 decades having been set up in the year 1955 by the late Rev. Fr. Silva Roza. The Junior Legion was established in 1976. The Legion was one of the very first organizations to be formed in our parish and the members took it upon themselves to reach out to parishioners in the vast undivided parish which covered in those days the whole of Goregaon West, Malad West and East and Aarey Colony areas. The members trudged on foot over long distances to establish contacts in far-flung areas. With the establishment of a Mass Centre at Chincholi, another unit of the Legion was set up in 1981 at Chincholi under the patronage of the Fernandes family and later merged with the Parish at large.

​

Presently, we have two 2 units – the Senior group and the Junior group functioning in our parish. Both groups are spiritually guided by Fr. Joseph Gonsalves. The Seniors under the Presidentship of Sr Cassina Netto has 12 members on roll while the Junior Legion of Mary Group comprises of 8 members under the Presidentship of Ms Threasa Chettiar.

​

Recently with the permission of our Parish Priest (Fr. Nelson Saldanha), we have started a Tamil Legion of Mary Group in the Raipada community with about 10 members on roll.
