    I was thrilled to read the report on the praesidium function at St. Sebastian church, Bendore. Though it was started in Dublin in 1921 on the eve of the Nativity of our Blessed Lady, today it has spread all over the world dealing only in Spiritual activities such as home visitation, hospital visitation, home for the aged, orphanages, teaching catechism to name a few of the activities of the Legion of Mary.

    If possible this function should be held on or around the feast of the Nativity of our Blessed Lady that is 8th September. Wishing the Legionaries all the best. May our Blessed Mother bless your efforts in the vineyard of her son Jesus for the greater glory of God. I belong to the praesidium of Immaculate conception, Holy Family Basilica, Nairobi - the praesidium started by Venerable Edel Quinn on 8th December 1936 and the meetings have been going on every week without a single interuption.
