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.

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.

Youth for the Third Millennium & Missionary Families for the Third Millennium These two international missionary organizations were born in Mexico in 1985 to help priests and bishops in the task of the new evangelization of society through rural and urban door-to-door missions. To date, they are active in the United States, El Salvador, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Bosnia, the Bahamas, and Lebanon. Missions are organized throughout the year, but especially during Easter and summer vacation. They rely on the participation of thousands of young men and women as well as Catholic families who wish to share their faith, their love, and their time with the most spiritually needy.
