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.

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.

Educational Consulting Centers The first educational consulting center was founded in Mexico in 1989. Presently similar centers exist in the United States (National Consultants for Education), Spain, Chile, Brazil and Venezuela. The purpose of these centers is to offer assistance to primary, middle, and secondary schools through the development of an academic curriculum geared to the needs of each school. The centers also publish textbooks, provide consulting services on academics, administration, personnel, and an overall evaluation of a particular school''s effectiveness. Computer Education Research Center The Computer Education Research Center aims at putting the world of information at the service of education. One of the first fruits of this center has been the production of software which helps students'' understanding of educational subject matter, as well as awakening and developing their creativity and problem-solving skills-analyzing, synthesizing, making relations and judgements- that is, going beyond the mere manipulation of data.
