Maria Legionis Magazine Update from Philadelphia Senatus:
We have seen a precipitous drop in the number of subscriptions over the course of the pandemic. So we are kindly asking that every Legionary help in keeping our magazine viable. Maria Legionis Magazine sells no advertisements and is solely dependent on subscription money to stay solvent. Frank Duff had the following to say about the magazine: “…Maria Legionis a most valuable supplement to the Handbook. Actually it is imperative that Legionaries, if they really want to be good members, should read the Legion Journal. If one does not read it, there is a very great tendency to stagnate. Unless members have before them the works and new ideas of other places, they will find that they will tend to lag behind.”
We ask that Praesidia bring up the idea of subscribing to the Magazine at their next meeting and individuals renew their subscription, if by chance it has lapsed, or start a new subscription.
Moreover we are recommending that Councils make a motion at their next meeting to purchase a number of subscriptions in bulk. These would be complementary magazines for Legionaries who may not be acquainted with the magazine, or they may be put in Church magazine racks with permission of the Pastor or may be used as a hand out on assignments.
Our Concilium Correspondent said the following in his June Letter:
“Along with existing subscribers, bulk-buying by the Senatus and attached councils of our magazine for this purpose would be so beneficial for all, for spiritual reading and for moral support at this time.
May I suggest, during this pandemic, the expense for all literature, including the Maria Legionis, should be covered by the Senatus, and attached councils, so that all might be complementary for now, so there will not be any physical contact required by way of payment in such public areas.”
