Couple’s Date Night
Couple’s Date Nights are intended as an “entry level” Regnum Christi event, featuring local speakers, who are usually speaker couples and often known to the attendees. Staying local with the speakers helps with relatability, and sustainability, because it keeps costs down. The goals of each event are to have the couples that attend receive church-aligned formation on marriage and the family. Another goal is to introduce them to Regnum Christi, with somebody delivering an “elevator” speech, explaining our spiritual family and apostolic body. The attendees also always get to meet local Legionaries and Consecrated Women (including our own Jill Preisack, who has gone to almost all of them, and we so appreciate her). This highlights their celibate vocation and helps everyone recognize the relationship of mutual enrichment between their vocation and that of the married couples. The good food & beer, and the venue being a local brewery, helps to entice some reluctant husbands. In our case, the brewery happens to be in our family, but any local craft brewery would probably be happy to host a gathering of 25 to 40 couples hungry and thirsty not just for sound teaching but also for food and beverage.

Building Holy Families Podcast
Fr. Jaime Lorenzo, LC, hosts a podcast series called Building Holy Families, designed to provide parents with the tools and resources to support them along their spiritual journey and in their mission to build a happy and holy home.
The Building Holy Families podcast provides conversations and suggestions on a diverse variety of topics (like “How to have meaningful conversations with your children,” “Inspiring trust,” and “Should my child get a phone?”) but what they all have in common is that they are short, sharable, and practical. Most of the episodes are approximately 7-10 minutes long, and offer parents ideas, motivations, and challenges to get them thinking about their own spiritual journey and owning the faith for their family. Here, parents can find best practices to guide their children through the world that is full of spiritual obstacles and not always amenable to the faith, while their eyes and hearts are set on heaven.

November Prayer-a-Day Calendar for Souls in Purgatory
Regnum Christi member, CC Christopherson of Ohio, shares a way she and her family make the most of the month of November with a calendar on which each day is assigned to a deceased person whom they pray for on that day.
This is a calendar printout you can keep on your fridge to remind everyone of their holy November mission. You write the name of a deceased loved one on each day of the calendar, reminding you to dedicate your prayers and sacrifices for them on that day. At the end of November, you will have brought 30 souls a bit closer to their eternal reward!
