Here are a few pictures of Father greeting the people. The students lined the sidewalk and the entry to the school and chanted and clapped for Father as he entered. He shook hands with every student and almost every person he passed by (Mary Clare got a blessing). It was wonderful to see so many friends from the school and from Regnum Christi. It was a true gift to have this shepherd of tens of thousands of Catholics here as a representative from Rome, also sending greetings from our dear founder Fr. Maciel and sharing a story about our Holy Father Pope Benedict. It will be a treasured memory.
Signing a picture for one of my old students
Preparing for Mass, lots of priests!
Father looks up with a grin
Recessional after mass, also some of my students are altar servers now!
And greeting people as he exits
May his ministry be blessed. And may we, as the Gospel invited us today, and Father spoke about, put our nets out into the deep!

I forgot if I already asked you this, but how did you get involved in the Regnum Christi group? I was wondering if there was a group in my area and was wondering how you found out about it.
wow! It's cool that you got to meet him!
Jill-I learned about Regnum Christi through teaching at the Legionary School here. I joined about 3 years ago. If you want to email me: blairandsteven AT yahoo, I can see if I can find out if there's one in your area. If there are any programs like Familia, Splendor of Love, K4J, Challenge girls clubs, etc, then there are probably Regnum Christi groups in your area. It's really a beautiful lay movement that has strengthened me in my faith, my vocation, and my prayer life immensely!
