Members of Regnum Christi founded Clearwater Academy, in
Calgary, Alberta. Since then, Legionaries and Regnum Christi members have
carried out several programs to assist the Church in Canada
through education, evangelization, and the formation of tomorrow´s priests.
Both the
Legionaries and the consecrated women have communities in Montreal, where
they serve the local parishes – the consecrated women work
with youth and family ministry, and the Legionaries assist the
parish priests with the celebration of the sacraments. The Legionaries
also have a community in Oakville, near Toronto, where they
also help with youth ministry and parish work.
One of the
highlights of Regnum Christi work in eastern Canada is the
summer Camp Alizé for girls, with a French version in
Québec and an English version in Ontario. For boys, there
is Camp Caribou, a ‘survivor’ camp on the St. Lawrence River.
Two priests
and two consecrated women also work in Calgary, AB each month,
where they help with local Regnum Christi events and provide
spiritual services at Clearwater Academy. Regnum Christi members
run two medieval-themed summer camps in Alberta each year: Camp Archātheos for boys and Camp
Captivenia for girls. During the year, they keep busy with marriage
renewal retreats and Challenge and Conquest clubs, among other events.
This is
just a taste of how Regnum Christi members are supporting
the Catholic Church across Canada – an endeavor which began
20 years ago and continues stronger each year, thanks to
the dedication of laypeople, Legionaries, and consecrated members.
From one
end of Canada to the other, from Nova Scotia to
British Colombia, the Legionaries of Christ and the members of
Regnum Christi live out their mission of loving Christ, serving
people and building the Church.
