In the apostolate, they help to form lay men and women who love Jesus Christ and the Church deeply. These lay apostles have a profound sense of Christian justice and charity, and are willing to set aside either part or all of their time to extend Christ''s Kingdom. Regnum Christi members come to understand that it pertains to the laity - be they young or old, male or female, students or professionals, workers or executives - to grow in holiness and to sanctify their private and professional environments with their personal witness, their works, and their words. All Christians are called to be leaven and light wherever they may be. The Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi members establish works of apostolate above all in eleven basic areas: 1. EVANGELIZATION The Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi members take special notice of the need to evangelize all peoples, especially through the creation of works that make the treasure of the Catholic faith available and easily accessible to everyone. They seek to offer a serious and enthusiastic response to Pope John Paul''s challenge for a New Evangelization.

To achieve these goals the School of the Faith offers: A two-year program of studies that includes courses on doctrine, catechetical methodology and human formation. Diplomas are granted upon completion of the program. It also offers advanced studies in the religious, pastoral, and catechetical sciences, and grants diplomas on various topics relating to the Catholic faith. Production and diffusion of audiovisual and bibliographic materials through its own magazine which acts as a support for the catechetical work. Promotion of Catholic doctrine and the magisterium of the Church on all levels: articles, magazines, books, conferences, conventions, weeks of study, radio, television, and Internet. Spiritual exercises, courses for obtaining diplomas in fundamental theology, religious sciences, human values, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, courses in updating and deepening the knowledge and application of the Church''s doctrine for priests, religious, and directors of religious education.

Social Participation Program One of the educational goals of Legionary schools is to deepen the students'' sense of responsibility regarding the transformation of society and the need to build a culture rooted in the Christian values of love and justice. Hence, the Legion has launched a program of Christian charity directed by youth. The purpose of this program is to develop the students'' awareness and sensitivity toward the problems afflicting society. Students have as part of their curriculum a weekly class on the principles of the Church''s social doctrine and human development. They participate in monthly social activities in which the entire school community is involved: students, parents, teachers, and administrators. This program''s influence extends to parishes, shelters, hospitals, and schools for mentally handicapped children, centers for the blind, centers for children from broken homes, orphanages, day-care centers, and low-income communities.
