Legion of Mary - Arundel & Brighton
A worldwide organisation for evangelisation and Catholic action. The Legion
is primarily concerned with the eternal salvation of souls, and the spiritual
needs of men and women today. As citizens and as members of the Christian
community they privately undertake the corporal works of mercy but precisely
as legionaries their explicit and immediate focus is the spiritual works of
mercy. The range of works varies, prioritised as Conversion, Conservation
and Consolation. Teams go on mission to all parts of the UK and Europe. The
regular weekly meeting assigns pairs to perform ‘a substantial active legionary
work, in the spirit of faith, and in union with Mary, in such fashion that in those
worked for and in one’s fellow members, the Person of our Lord is once again
seen and served by Mary, his Mother.’
All spiritual works which are required by the Priest and in accord with the
Legion’s purpose and statutes can be undertaken. The offering of material
relief is left to other groups.

Legion of Mary - Liverpool
A worldwide apostolic organisation for men and women, normally parish-based. The primary work of the Legion of Mary is that of the Church, to evangelise. Active members meet weekly to pray together, learn more about the faith, and organise visits to the sick and isolated in the parish under the direction of the parish priest, all in union with Our Lady. Coming together in this way helps members to discover and deepen the joy of the Gospel message. It builds a sense of community and inspires greater confidence and enthusiasm for living and sharing the Gospel message with others. In their work, members invite others to become active in parish life, gently encourage those who have lapsed to return to the practice of their faith, and invite those outside the Church to discover the treasures of the Catholic faith. Auxiliary members support the work of the Legion of Mary by a commitment to prayer.

Useful Definitions in the Catholic Church
What is a Catholic Bishops' Conference?
An episcopal conference, sometimes called a conference of bishops, is an official assembly of the bishops of the Catholic Church in a given territory. ... Individual bishops do not relinquish their immediate authority for the governance of their respective dioceses to the conference (Wikipedia).
What is an Archdiocese?
Dioceses ruled by an archbishop are commonly referred to as archdioceses; most are metropolitan sees, being placed at the head of an ecclesiastical province. A few are suffragans of a metropolitan see or are directly subject to the Holy See.
The term 'archdiocese' is not found in Canon Law, with the terms 'diocese' and 'episcopal see' being applicable to the area under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of any bishop.[8] If the title of archbishop is granted on personal grounds to a diocesan bishop, his diocese does not thereby become an archdiocese (Wikipedia).
What is a Diocese?
The group of churches that a bishop supervises is known as a diocese. Typically, a diocese is divided into parishes that are each overseen by a priest.
The original dioceses, in ancient Rome, were political rather than religious. Rome was divided into dioceses, each of which was made up of many provinces. After Christianity became the Roman Empire's official religion in the 4th century, the term gradually came to refer to religious districts. The Catholic Church has almost 3,000 dioceses. The Greek root of diocese is dioikesis, 'government, administration, or province.' (Vocabulary.com).
As of April 2020, in the Catholic Church there are 2,898 regular dioceses: 1 papal see, 649 archdioceses (including 9 patriarchates, 4 major archdioceses, 560 metropolitan archdioceses, 76 single archdioceses) (Wikipedia).
What is a Deanery
A subdivision of a diocese, consisting of a number parishes, over which presides a dean appointed by a bishop. The duty of the dean is to watch over the clergy of the deanery, to see that they fulfill the orders of the bishop, and observe the liturgical and canon laws. He summons the conference of the deanery and presides at it. Periodically he makes a report to the bishop on conditions in the deanery.www.catholicculture.org
What is a Parish?
In the Roman Catholic Church, a parish (Latin: parochia) is a stable community of the faithful within a particular church, whose pastoral care has been entrusted to a parish priest (Latin: parochus), under the authority of the diocesan bishop. It is the lowest ecclesiastical subdivision in the Catholic episcopal polity, and the primary constituent unit of a diocese. In the 1983 Code of Canon Law, parishes are constituted under cc. 515-552, entitled 'Parishes, Pastors, and Parochial Vicars.' Wikipedia
