EXPLORING THE CALL
What it means to be a Legionary
Being a Legionary is a dynamic synthesis of many elements. It means being a man of God, a passionate apostle of Christ, a formator of apostles, a proclaimed witness of God’s merciful love, a well-rounded man, a creative evangelizer, a lively and magnanimous innovator (Christus Vita Vestra, 65).
2025 Ordination to the Priesthood
On Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 10:00 am (Rome local time), 23 Legionaries of Christ were ordained to the priesthood. The future priests come from Mexico, Brazil, France, Colombia, Argentina, Spain, the United States, El Salvador, Germany and Venezuela.
The ceremony which took place in the Papal Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls (Rome) was celebrated by Mgr Pedro Pablo Elizondo, L.C.
