The best way to describe the Acies is that it is the most important Legion function of the year. During this ceremony, we will consecrate ourselves to Mary by renewing our Legionary Promise, so that we may better work in union with her as we do our Legionary battle against the evils of this world. In this consecration, we open our hearts to Mary, so that she may guide us and bless us through the year. It is said that one cannot be truly devoted to our Lady's legion if one does not attend this ceremony, as you will not have within you her spirit.
The particulars of this function can be found in the Legio Mariae handbook on page 173.
ACIES for the Legion of Mary will be celebrated on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord on Saturday, March 25, 2023, at noon at St. Bartholomew Church in Katy.
