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.

Institute for Evangelization This institute founded in the United States prepares catechists who will effectively promote Catholic doctrine. It provides formation in the areas of doctrine, catechetical methodology, spiritual and pastoral support. Faithful to the magisterium of the Church, the Institute for Evangelization places special emphasis on the permanent formation of catechists in the faith, encouraging them to be faithful witnesses of Christ''s love and message. The members of the Institute for Evangelization work together with local churches in catechesis and by sponsoring youth organizations. The Treasure of My Catholic Faith This is an educational project that seeks to promote knowledge of and appreciation for the treasure of Catholic faith both at home and at school. It consists of a series of books for grades K-12 whose content is drawn from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while implementing the new advances in the area of traditional and modern educational research. Textbooks come with a complete set of resource materials: videos, songs, teacher''s guidebooks, liturgical notebooks, and more. The program also maintains a site on the Internet: "On Line Evangelization".

The evangelizer seeks to fulfill his mission by pursuing these goals: educating others in the faith so they may preach and teach catechesis; forming part-time evangelizers; creating evangelization centers and teams of lay people dedicated to promoting a sound human and Christian formation; helping pastoral action; and promoting an integral human development through education programs and projects aimed at bettering living conditions. Prayer, Reflection, and Study Centers Regnum Christi members seek to establish centers for prayer, reflexion and study, retreats, spiritual exercises, workshops, as well as courses on Sacred Scripture, Pontifical Magisterium and other related themes. They are open to young people, adults, pastoral associates, religious and priests. Schools of the Faith The School of the Faith is a pontifical institute of pastoral catechetics approved by the Congregation for the Clergy in 1979. Its specific goal is to support the work of the bishops and their pastoral associates in local churches by training teachers of the faith, according to a plan of studies which will give them expert instruction in Catholic doctrine. Schools of the Faith foster close communion with the Pope and the magisterium of the Church and endeavor to supply today''s Catholics with the most modern and efficient teaching tools for evangelization.
