Active and Auxiliary Legionaries
The two primary types of Legion membership are active members and auxiliary members.
· Active members attend a Legion meeting once a week and perform works of service (typically about 2 hours a week).
· Auxiliary members instead pray the rosary and the prayers of the Legion of Mary (the Tessera) for the intentions of the Blessed Mother and bolster the efforts of the active members through their prayers.
Higher grades of membership include praetorians, who are active members who also pray the Tessera daily, attend Mass daily, and daily recite an Office approved by the Church, and adjutorians, who are auxiliary members who attend Mass daily and daily recite an Office approved by the Church in addition to praying the Rosary and the prayers of the Tessera daily.
