Will take place at St. Joseph's Church, Elko, on Saturday, March 22nd at 11am. All welcome. Legion Founder Frank Duff wrote in the Legion Handbook: "The Acies is the great central annual function of the Legion, so that it is necessary to stress the importance of attendance on the part of every member. The essential ideal of the Legion, upon which all else is built, is that of working in union with and in dependence on Mary, its Queen. The Acies is the solemn expression of that union and dependence, the renewal - individual and collective - of the legionary declaration of fealty. Hence it is manifest that any legionaries who can attend, and yet fail to do so, have little or none of the spirit of the Legion in them. The membership of such persons is not an asset to the Legion." ACIES* is a Latin word that the Roman Legion applied to an army ranged in battle array; appropriate to a ceremony in which the legionaries as a body assemble to renew their fealty to Mary, Queen of the Legion, and from her to receive strength and blessing for yet another year's battle with the forces of evil. We also recall the army allegory in our weekly meetings in prayer; "Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, terrible as an army set in battle array?"

Many of us grew up believing that being a Christian simply meant going to church and saying grace before meals, but being a follower of Christ isn’t about going through the motions. It’s about having a deep, personal friendship with Jesus—a relationship that gives purpose and meaning to every part of your life. Meeting the Messiah will take you on a scriptural journey through the lives of men and women who met Jesus in person and whose lives were forever changed. Curtis Martin and Dr. Edward Sri invite you to encounter Jesus face-to-face through His word and hear the personal message He’s been telling you all along: You are not alone. You are beloved. You are His.
