The Legion of Christ is a Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests and men on the path for the priesthood.
The building up of the Kingdom of Christ is the ideal that directs the life of a Legionary. The motto "Thy Kingdom Come!" expresses this longing.
By his religious profession, a Legionary consecrates his entire life to imitate and follow Christ in poverty, chastity and obedience.
A Legionary is fully available to serve wherever and however God - his supreme love - may ask of him.
Our members are dedicated to form apostles, that is clergy and lay people sent to transmit the faith to others, in order to build up the Kingdom of Christ in society.
This means to evangelize culture, building a civilization of justice and love and is carried out through prayer, sacramental life, and the apostolate.
