The Legion serves the Church and others through schools, universities and centers to form the character and Christian virtue of families, youth, and married couples, as well as the Christian and humanitarian development of the poor. Legionaries serve the local churches through catechesis, missions, media apostolates, and they offer diocesan priests ongoing formation courses in their dioceses. The name sums up a Christ-centered spirituality in which Jesus Christ is the center, standard, and model of a Legionary''s religious, priestly, and apostolic life. LOVE FOR CHRIST Legionaries seek to experience and know Christ intimately in the Gospel, the Eucharist, and the Cross. They strive to love Him in a personal and passionate way by imitating as their only model of holiness.
