Militia Immaculata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Militia Immaculata, or "Army of the Immaculate," is a worldwide Catholic evangelization movement founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe in 1917 in response to protests against the Pope by Freemasons in Rome. The MI, as it is also known, is open to all Catholics and encourages intercession to the Virgin Mary for the conversion of sinners. Joining the MI involves making a vow of consecration to Mary. Members wear the Miraculous Medal as an outward sign of their consecration.
