3) Making rosaries –  evangelizing by making and distributing rosaries
4) Crowd contact – giving out sacramental and literature and door-to-door visits within the St. Leander boundary
5) Teaching CCD – being a teacher of CCD 

Weekly meetings are conducted among Legionaries to gather around Mary and pray, and to intermingle prayer with reports and discussion.
