The Society of Mary is an Anglican devotional society dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. As its website states, it is a group of Anglican Christians:
"dedicated to the Glory of God and the Holy Incarnation of Christ under the invocation of Our Lady, Help of Christians."
The Anglican Society of Mary is not to be confused with the two Roman Catholic religious orders of the same name commonly called the Marists and the Marianists.
