Joseph Brickner, LC<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Two events for boys and young men were held over the 2024-25 Christmas break at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lccheshire.org\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Legionaries of Christ Seminary<\/span><\/a> in Cheshire, Connecticut. The <i>Christmas Test Your Call Retreat<\/i> invited young men to discern their vocation in the heart of the novitiate community, while <i>Ignition 2025 <\/i>gave high school boys the opportunity to reignite their faith in God and grow in friendship with other Catholic young men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Christmas Test Your Call Retreat<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There was quite a bit of snow throughout Connecticut when close to 20 young men arrived at the novitiate over the Christmas break. God, however, had his own plans, and sent plenty of graces to help those in attendance in their vocational discernment. The young men from high school, college, and young professional life enjoyed time with the novices and young religious, received talks on discernment, witnessed the Regnum Christi charism at work, and took a deep dive into prayer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <i>Test Your Call<\/i> retreats allow young men to not just pray about their vocation, but truly experience life as a Legionary. During the weekend, participants attend daily Mass and adoration, have opportunities for spiritual direction and confession, and take part in workshops on discernment and prayer. They also get to enjoy sports, hikes, and conversations with the brothers at the novitiate.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-1800x1013.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162356 size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Over 100 Young Men Encounter Christ at the Legionaries\u2019 Seminary in Cheshire over the Holidays\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162356 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-1800x1013.jpg\" alt=\"Over 100 Young Men Encounter Christ at the Legionaries\u2019 Seminary in Cheshire over the Holidays\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-1800x1013.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/christmas2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This past Test Your Call retreat welcomed participants from across North America, including California, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, North Carolina, and New York, as well as Saskatchewan and Ontario, Canada. \u201cTest Your Call is important because the young men are able to experience a bit of the life of a Legionary of Christ, and hear the stories of the brothers,\u201d says Fr. Joseph Brickner, who is the Aspirancy Program director for the Legionaries of Christ and one of the vocation directors for the southeast vocation team. \u201cJust as the Christ invited the first apostles to \u2018come and see,\u2019 the young men are invited to come and encounter Christ in a profound way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Several of the young men who attended the Christmas <i>Test Your Call<\/i> took a further step in discernment and formally enrolled in the Aspirancy Program at the novitiate. <span class=\"s2\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcvocations.org\/aspirancy-program\"><span class=\"s3\">Aspirancy Program<\/span><\/a> is an optional introductory program that aids men in taking a concrete step closer to Christ.

The retreat combined spiritual activities, like <i>lectio divina<\/i>, adoration, and the rosary, with fun events, including a soccer tournament, sports Olympics, a hike to a nearby mountain, and even a casino night! The theme of this year\u2019s retreat was \u201cDriven by Love,\u201d and was inspired by themes in Guy Ritchie\u2019s movie \u201cThe Covenant,\u201d which the participants watched and discussed.

Adam, one of the highlights of the Ignition retreat happened on the night of December 31<\/span><span class=\"s5\"><sup>st<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s4\">; participants brought in the new year with confessions, music, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, all while a violent thunderstorm provided natural fireworks outside the chapel. \u201cDuring adoration, each missionary knelt in front of the altar, and the boys could approach them and ask them to pray for them personally.
