This year, on September 7, seven candidates received their cassocks at the Legionaries of Christ Novitiate and College of Humanities<\/a> in Cheshire, Connecticut, officially becoming Novices of the Congregation, on the path to the priesthood.<\/p>\n

The first step toward becoming a Legionary priest begins with the Candidacy, where candidates get to know the nature of religious and priestly life, as well as the life, spirit and apostolate of Regnum Christi. After this summer of discernment, they make their decision about whether they are called to enter the novitiate, where they continue to discern, delve into, and develop their vocation; forge a personal, passionate love for Jesus Christ; acquire the habits proper to religious life; and embrace wholeheartedly the spirit and discipline of the Legion of Christ. The novitiate ordinarily lasts two years, and concludes with the first profession of temporary vows.<\/p>\n
