At present, 38 nationalities from five continents are represented in the Legion. The age of Legionary priests and seminarians is 28. Throughout the year vocation discernment retreats are held at Legionary novitiates for young men who want to test their call by spending some time with Legionaries. The Legionaries of Christ and the members of the Regnum Christi Movement understand their mission as a sharing in Christ''s redemptive mission: salvation must reach every person without distinction. Taking into account the pastoral programs of each diocese, Legionaries and Regnum Christi members endeavor to collaborate in this task through the exercise of their specific charism. That charism is a spirituality that helps Christians live their baptismal commitments in the midst of their personal, family and professional circumstances.

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.

Full Time Catechists The Legionaries of Christ implemented a plan for forming and maintaining professional, full-time catechists in Latin America over 20 years ago. Its purpose is to check the tremendous advance of secularism, religious indifference, and the proselytism of pseudo-religious sects. The Full Time Catechist project is intended to support bishops by preparing evangelizers and placing them at the service of dioceses and parishes. These committed lay men and women, working as couples or individually, function as catechists. They always work in close cooperation with bishops and parish priests. In order to carry out their work, full-time evangelizers receive a salary that enables them to live decently while fulfilling their specific mission.
