The Legionaries of Christ are a Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests and seminarians, and part of the Regnum Christi Federation, an ecclesial movement consisting of a spiritual family canonically recognized by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Societies of Apostolic Life.

​

Legionaries live in communities, and make vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

​

Driven by the desire of Jesus’ heart to set the world ablaze, the religious priests of the Legionaries of Christ support each other and work in communion with other Regnum Christi members in their mission to form disciples, people who let the love of Christ the King transform their hearts, their families and their world.

​

Legionaries go out as missionaries in today’s world. With great charity, joy and zeal, they invite people into the adventure of living for Christ and transforming the culture around them. Each year they impact thousands of lives through youth work, education, parishes, missions, the sacraments, and spiritual direction.

​

Legionaries exercise their pastoral ministry principally in the fields of spreading the faith; education; evangelization of the family, of culture and of the media; youth work; clergy formation and the promotion of justice, charity and solidarity with the neediest; along with the spiritual care and formation of the Regnum Christi members.
