The Legion of Christ was founded in 1941 in Mexico,
and the Regnum Christi Movement was founded in 1959.
The work that the Legion and Regnum Christi have done
in Mexico is considerable. It covers areas like: education, complete
pastoral care for the Mayan zone of the state of
Quintana Roo, services to the dioceses through programs like the
Full-time Lay Missionaries, evangelization missions, care for the most needy,
promotion of the family, youth formation, and the spreading of
Christian values and culture in society.
On January 3rd
of 1941, the apostolic school of the Missionaries of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus was founded in Mexico City. The Legion
of Christ was born in the state of Michoacán, with the
first group of 13 youngsters in his care.
Thirteen
years later, the Legion set its first apostolic work in
motion: the Cumbres Institute, founded in 1954 in Mexico City.
It was followed by the foundation of Anahuac University on
its provisional campus in 1964; by the Irish Institute, also
in Mexico City, in 1966; and by the first Mano
Amiga School, also in 1966. In 1968, Anahuac University opened
its doors on its definitive campus in the Lomas de
Tecamachalco area of Mexico City.
From that date on,
the chronology of events is too densely packed to record:
it fills up quickly with cities, names, apostolates… It seems
that a volcano of generosity exploded in the hearts of
hundreds and thousands of Mexican lay people. Thanks to them,
Regnum Christi and the Legion of Christ are now extended
throughout the length and breadth of the Mexican Republic. Not
only have the aforementioned schools and works grown and multiplied
on the map of the country, but new initiatives have
sprung up in the most varied fields of apostolate: youth,
family, childhood, mass media, evangelization, works of Christian charity for
the needy, clubs for adolescents, Youth for the Third Millennium
and Missionary Families for the Third Millennium; NET, School of
the Faith, Full-time Lay Missionaries, ANSPAC, Mexican Family, the Alpha
& Omega clinics, apostolic schools for the formation of minor
seminarians… and since the 1990s, there is now a novitiate
in the city of Monterrey.
Mexico continues to
be the “pioneer” country in the service that the Legion
and Regnum Christi wish to offer to the Church’s mission,
which is the same as Christ’s mission: to help extend
his Kingdom for the salvation of mankind.
