Apostolic Work is a Voluntary Organisation made up of people who work in different ways to provide help for those who suffer and are deprived. It began in Belfast in 1923 to help missionaries in their work of Evangelization by supplying them with Vestments, Sacred Vessels etc. and with material and financial help to carry out their work of spreading the Gospel. It later spread to the Archdiocese of Armagh under the leadership of the late Margaret Colgan who started branches in approx. 30 Parishes.
Today the Apostolic Work continues to receive and respond to numerous appeals from such Missionaries whose work is still so necessary today. Dedicated members knit and sew and make Vestments etc. as well as garments, which can be used to fundraise. This money goes directly to where it is most needed for Churches, Clinics, Food, Water, Medicines, Street Children and those in great need. The centre is based at 13 College Street, Armagh, where all materials and finances are dispatched.

“The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of it’s members developed by prayer and active cooperation in Mary and the Church’s work”
“With Mary for Jesus” sums up the spirituality of the Legion. With this in mind the members have a commitment to a weekly meeting, and about 2 hours of a pastoral nature within the parish each week. The work usually involves visiting of some sort, whether in Care Homes, housebound people, or promoting any apostolic activity in the parish. In short the Legion of Mary offers the opportunity of a full involvement in the life of the church at parish level with a complete dependence on Mary Mother of the Church.
The Junior Legion is an organisation for the spiritual development of persons under 18 years of age. Primarily, the purpose is to train and spiritualize the young members. The Junior Legion of Mary Praesidia can be found throughout the entire world. Each member must do at least one hour of work each week. This work is assigned at the weekly meeting which all members must attend. Junior Legion Praesidia have been found to be valuable in the work that they do in parishes.
In crucial years when formation is so essential, the Junior Legion develops confidence and spiritual and mental growth of the personality.
The Junior Legion of Mary Comfort of the Afflicted Praesidium was started by the Spiritual
Director Fr Emmanuel Fasakin MSP on 12th September 2022. Here, the children come together to reflect on the word of God, to make new friends, learn to pray the rosary, also to learn and be trained in values for life. It helps them acquire more knowledge and confidence and also to enhance their talents. Children come forward to participate in different church activities thus making them bold and courageous.
The meetings for the Armagh Junior Legion of Mary are held every Monday in the Saint Vincent De Paul Centre, 1-5 Chapel Lane from 6 – 7pm. If your child would like to join please contact the Parish Office at armaghparishoffice@gmail.com for more information.
What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process to enter the Roman Catholic Church. It can mean different things to different people.
For people who haven’t been baptised, RCIA is the process leading to baptism and initiation into the Body of Christ and the Catholic Church.
For Christians baptised into other denominations, RCIA is the process to be brought into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church (which includes receiving the Eucharist).
For baptised Catholics who either didn’t receive the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation as part of the typical childhood religious preparation, RCIA is the process to complete the sacraments.
For Catholics who have been away from the Church, RCIA can help to brush up on ones faith and become more part of the Christian community.
RCIA is for adults and children of the age of reason, typically eight years of age and older.
Where do we meet?
The Armagh RCIA group meets every Tuesday at 7.30pm in St Catherine’s College. Each meeting lasts about one hour. The group is always happy to welcome new members. If you feel that God is calling you in some way to come to know and love him better, COME AND JOIN!
The group meets on the second Thursday of every month at 7.30pm in St Malachy’s Church. All welcome.
