| In 1996 Regnum Christi arrived to Guatemala thanks to a Regnum Christi married couple from El Salvador. From then on, Regnum Christi carried out its apostolate in the fields of evangelization, works of Christian charity, and human advancement. |

In 1996, a married couple moved to Guatemala for family
business matters. They began to create the first groups of
Regnum Christi members until in May of 1998 the
first apostolate was born: La Escuela de la Fe.
That same year the "Hombre Nuevo" radio program
was launched in Guatemala with a magnificent reception from radio
listeners of all backgrounds. In 1999, a delegation from Guatemala
represented Central America at the Youth and Family Encounter in
Atlanta.
The year 2000 marked a point of
greater expansion in the country’s sections and apostolates. In December,
Guatemalan pilgrims went to Rome to participate in the International
Youth and Family Encounter on the occasion of the 60th
year anniversary of the foundation of the Legion of Christ,
marking the end of the Jubilee of the year 2000.
In 2002, with the support of the Local Office
of El Salvador, the Full-time Lay Missionaries program was founded
in Guatemala. The first group was formed by 10 full-time
lay missionaries in the archdiocese of the capital. The first
Central American Congress on the Family was also started, with
great success. The main fruit of this congress was the
apostolate of Familia Unida(United Family).
During Holy Week
of 2003, the first Medical Mission was held. This day
served as a base for the foundation of Youth for
the Third Millennium. In addition, contact with the needs of
the people motivated a group of businessmen to form the
directive team for the Mano Amiga School. In that same
year, the first Full-time Lay Missionaries course was held in
Guatemala, reaching a new diocese: Escuintla.
