Our monthly meeting of the Comitium will be held at St. Francis Cabrini Church in Lebanon, Tennessee. How wonderful that our Legion is growing to include Lebanon, Murfreesboro, and now a new praesidium at Vanderbilt!

November's Comitium was hosted by Our Lady of Guadalupe praesidium at Our Lady of the Lake in Hendersonville. It is exciting to see this new praesidium in action! We also welcomed ladies from Lebanon who are working to restore the Legion of Mary there.
Joyce Brokaw of Gallatin's Our Lady of Leche was elected to serve as Vice President of the Nashville Comitium, filling the vacancy left by Frank Corby.
Retired Spiritual Director Fr. Bevington marks his 60th anniversary of ordination next month. The Most Rev. Bishop Choby will celebrate Mass on Thursday, December 8th at 6:30 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lake.
Next month's Comitium will be held at Assumption Church on December 11th. This is our annual General Reunion, so bring a side dish to share! Meats and drinks will be provided. Assumption Church is located just north of downtown, near the Nashville Farmer's Market (click here for map.)

Jo Clyde shares that the comitium meeting at St. Henry on Sunday, July 10th, will be in the room next to the old chapel at 2 p.m. The door to that building will be unlocked so you can get in. It is the door that has the big statue of St. Joseph just outside. Our Blessed Mother will be waiting for you! Hope to see you all there!
Don't forget to bring your report for the Senatus on the topic of "Back to Basics through study of the handbook!"
How is the Handbook studied by the legionaries? In the praesidium meetings? Individually? What methods are used? When and how is it done? How often? Is the Handbook studied again and again? Do we turn to the Handbook for answers when questions or concerns come up in our work or in the meeting?
The Spiritual Reading, the Allocutio and Handbook discussion/study in the meeting are means of obtaining a greater knowledge and appreciation for the Handbook.
The allocutio (Handbook page 114 #11) and study of the handbook (page 198 and page 200, second paragraph) - "The apostolic ideas of the Handbook are means of obtaining a greater knowledge and appreciation for the Handbook."

The Acies, or annual consecration to Our Lady, will be held March 27th at 3 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on West End. Refreshments will be served in the Fleming Center afterward.
Fr. Peffley's book, Inside the Legion of Mary, reminds us that the Acies is the most important event in the Legionary year. Legionaries will gather "like an army set in battle array." Following the Rosary, prayers, and a talk by a priest, we process to the altar, place our hands upon a life-size vexillium, and say: "I am all yours, my Queen and my Mother, and all that I have is yours."

The monthly devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary continues to grow! Dozens of people were enrolled in the Brown Scapular at the conclusion of this Mass in December.
Is your praesidium in need of a new project for January, February, or March?
We invite volunteers to lead the Rosary and distribute scapulars and images of the Sacred Heart on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Volunteers would need to be at Assumption Church downtown by 6 p.m. for prayers and remain through the Mass at 7 p.m.
If your praesidium is interested in signing up for a particular month, please contact Marilyn Cox at stdominic@bellsouth.net or by phone at 851-8263.
Please join us for this special devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts! Confession is available at 6:15 p.m. and Holy Mass begins at 7 p.m. Assumption Church is easily located off I-65 near the Farmer's Market and Dominican Motherhouse, with easy parking both on the street and in the lot across from the church. |
