Father Daniel Becker with the missionaries from Youth for the Third Millennium.

Youth for the Third Millennium (YTM) organized a mission from November 8th to the 10th in Warren, MA, for two different parishes, St. Paul´s and St. Thomas Aquinas. Both parishes are directed by Father Daniel Becker, one of the many diocesan priests who belong to the Regnum Christi Movement. The group of missionaries totaled thirty, fourteen young men, many of them high school students, and sixteen seminarians from the Legionaries of Christ novitiate in Cheshire, CT.

The missionaries hit the streets of Warren to evangelize and made quite an impact. They visited eighty homes, the majority of them Catholic, and invited the townspeople to take a more active role in their parish. The missionaries also asked on behalf of Father Becker if they had any special prayer intentions.

When the day was done the missionaries would gather and share their experiences. The joy of a concrete opportunity to spread the Gospel was evident and contagious.

A great deal of the mission was organized by one high school senior, Kyle Krosby, the YTM regional coordinator. Kyle attended the Regnum Christi yearly Formators´ Course last year and has shown just how much one young person can do.

The missionaries will continue their efforts at the Mission for Life in Washington, DC, this coming January 2003. Father Becker was very grateful for the generosity and joy that the young people spread throughout the region.
