Inoh Choe, Br. Austen Davis, Br. Mark Lawrence, and Br. Zachary Le Leux made their first professions of temporary vows at the annual Professions Mass. These young men professed vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience for the first time, making them religious seminarians. Fr. Shawn Aaron, LC, North American Territorial Director, presided, joined by over 25 Legionary priests, many of whom are presently engaged in teaching and accompanying these young men throughout their studies. There were also 14 seminarians who renewed their temporary vows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first profession of temporary vows marks the end of the two-year novitiate stage of the path to becoming a Legionary priest. These seminarians will then go on to complete one or two years of classical humanities studies, followed by three years studying philosophy in Rome, during which time these first vows will be renewed. This leads into two or three years of internship and three years of formal theology studies, followed by ordination to the transitional diaconate, and finally, ordination to the Legionary priesthood.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-scaled.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-182346 size-full lazyload\" alt=\"Friends &amp; Family\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-182346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Friends &amp; Family\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_4349-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Upward Calling in Christ Jesus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his homily during the Professions Mass, Fr.

God called us into existence, he loved us into existence, and he precedes us with a love that we don\u2019t deserve, and a yes that comes before our yes,\u201d said Fr. Shawn. \u201cAs you make this step today, there is a yes that precedes yours, there is a love that is tenacious, that will never give up on you and calls you upward into his degree of loving.

Fr. Timothy Walsh, LC, who serves as the rector of the seminary in Cheshire, also celebrated a marriage renewal where 17 couples, some of whom are parents of current seminarians, renewed their vows. This is the second year that the marriage renewal has been offered following the professions ceremony and it has quickly become a cherished tradition, offering a moving parallel between the two vocations and paths to holiness celebrated during the weekend\u2014marriage and the religious life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-scaled.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-182348 size-full lazyload\" alt=\"Friends &amp; Family\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-182348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Friends &amp; Family\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250808-10_LCC_Professions_5429-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s always a great day in Cheshire when the community comes together with members of Regnum Christi, friends, and supporters who attend the professions ceremony,\u201d says Anne Ciacciarella, who works at the Cheshire seminary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0ac81e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f0ac81e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1799fd7 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"1799fd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cIt\u2019s a joyous weekend to experience Cheshire together as a Regnum Christi family!\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c1eea9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5c1eea9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3e4b4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3e4b4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The section is currently working to create a cookbook featuring recipes from Legionary priests, Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, seminarians, and lay Regnum Christi members from all localities.
