This year, Father Ryan is living in Atchison and accompanying the Benedictine College RC section full-time throughout the entire school year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Life as full-time college chaplain is a busy one. Father Ryan helps celebrate Mass \u2013 besides offering six Masses over the weekend, the Abbey has three daily Masses, with an attendance of 350 students each weekday. He also hears confessions \u2013 the sacrament of reconciliation is offered for two hours, with three priests available, every day. During the football season, Father Ryan is chaplain for the college\u2019s football team, giving a talk about virtue at every Tuesday practice, leading eucharistic adoration for the team every Friday evening, and attending the games every Saturday. As well, he accompanies the baseball team, men\u2019s and women\u2019s lacrosse teams, and track and cross-country teams, providing regular spiritual accompaniment like talks and retreats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-300x225.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23762 alignleft lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23762 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript>As well, every Monday night, Father Ryan helps to lead the on-campus RCIA class, that features talks with guest professors and opportunities for outreach. Along with offering spiritual direction to the college\u2019s students, he also accompanies the on-campus Regnum Christi teams, meeting the members for regular spiritual direction, apostolic dialogue, encounters, adoration, and a weekly evening Mass planned and led by the Regnum Christi students themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But he certainly doesn\u2019t do it all alone, and this is what Father Ryan believes is the key to creating a flourishing Regnum Christi section like the one at Benedictine College.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc6-300x225.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23765 alignright lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23765 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/noscript>\u201cTo have a thriving section, it is really ideal to have all the aspects of the spiritual family coming together,\u201d says Father Ryan, who considers himself just one part of the Regnum Christi team at Benedictine College. Tammy Grady, a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi living in Dallas, spends several days at the college each month, vitally helping the section and offering spiritual direction. As well, Regnum Christi members, Jeff and Donna Garrett, travel often from their home in Omaha to mentor students and share their experience of living the lay Regnum Christi vocation in marriage and family life. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be complete if Tammy was never around, and we wouldn\u2019t be complete if we didn\u2019t have the example of Jeff and Donna, and the actual RC college students themselves,\u201d says Father Ryan. \u201cWhen all those come together, working in a team, you really see the beauty of the charism of having that spiritual family. It\u2019s been a really beautiful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc2-300x225.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-23761 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-23761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/noscript>And of course, the support of the neighboring Benedictine community has been key to the growth of Regnum Christi on campus. \u201cAt the abbey here, the abbot, the campus minister, the chaplaincy, the president of the college, everyone has been very intentional about making Regnum Christi feel welcome here,\u201d says Father Ryan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Along with Tammy and Jeff and Donna, Father Ryan has been working to intentionally share and live that beauty of the charism of teamwork and Regnum Christi family life with the RC students on campus. This year, the section has formed an AFIRE team of five women and five men who have taken on the organizing of campus events. Besides leading regular weekly encounters, the team has worked together to run a five-week Regnum Christi Discernment series, held a weekend leadership formation course with Jeff and Donna, organized an apostolic outreach with Habitat for Humanity, and helped plan a special Mass for the Feast of Christ the King that welcomed 5 new members to the section. And that was all in the first semester of the school year! These days, the AFIRE team is busy preparing for their biggest event of the year \u2013 in January, they\u2019ll be hosting a weekend-long Spiritual Exercises, which is open to the entire campus and generally has over a hundred students in attendance each year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23760 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bc1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript>This spirit of teamwork and family life is an important aspect of the Regnum Christi mystique, and one that Father Ryan feels is a vital element to keeping the RC section at Benedictine College \u2013 and the students themselves \u2013 thriving. \u201cA lot of times on campus, the activities can be very piecemeal \u2013 you go to adoration, you go to a service project, and if you\u2019re just going to a meeting and then you\u2019re leaving, then you really can\u2019t form that kind of mystique,\u201d says Father Ryan. \u201cBut Regnum Christi provides a holistic opportunity \u2013 within RC, you\u2019re praying together, you\u2019re doing apostolate together, you\u2019re getting formation. The RC students have formed a real community where they have found real, solid Christ-centered friendships. This is a place where students can really thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of those students is Juliana Esparza, who is a sophomore at Benedictine and a former RC missionary. \u201cRegnum Christi has opened doors for friendships for me, and has encouraged me to live out my prayer life through my relationships,\u201d says Juliana. \u201cI was able to create meaningful friendships with upperclassmen who have lived out the RC charism through prayer and apostolate. These people were key in my first year \u2013 they showed me how to love simply and in a Christ-like manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lucas Hoffman participated in the Catholic Worldview Fellowship Experience, a month-long accredited course abroad, and it was here that he met Regnum Christi for the first time. When Lucas returned to campus in September for his junior year, he began the RC Discernment Course and started attending weekly Encounters, both of which he now helps lead. Says Lucas, \u201cRegnum Christi gives me an authentic Catholic friend group that motivates me to do my best, and has impacted my life by giving me a tangible outlet for living my faith as best I can. It is my \u2018elective class\u2019 that points me in the way I want to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Regnum Christi section at Benedictine College has also had a profound impact on the life of Katrina Rebholz, who credits her experience with Regnum Christi, particularly the Spiritual Exercises weekend retreat, with deepening her prayer life and her relationship with Christ. \u201cDuring my senior year, the Lord revealed himself to me in a whole new way, and Regnum Christi was a major part of that, introducing me to so many new ways to encounter the Lord,\u201d says Katrina. \u201cNow I am fully involved in Regnum Christi, learning more every day, and loving every second of it. I cannot thank the Lord enough for bringing Regnum Christi into my life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Father Ryan doesn\u2019t want to keep the secret to creating and sustaining a flourishing on-campus Regnum Christi section to himself \u2013 he and the AFIRE team at Benedictine College have been working to form a model of what it means to live Regnum Christi as a college student, and how to start, build, and grow a vibrant section that forms apostles that can continue living their Regnum Christi vocation long after graduation. \u201cIt is a life-long mission,\u201d says Father Ryan, \u201conce you graduate Benedictine, Regnum Christi continues, and the students love that they can get plugged into RC wherever they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To find out more about the Benedictine College, visit their website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benedictine.edu\/\"><span class=\"s1\">www.benedictine.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To get more information about the Regnum Christi section at Benedictine College, email <a href=\"mailto:benedictinerc@gmail.com\"><span class=\"s1\">benedictinerc@gmail.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the bluffs of Atchison, Kansas, overlooking the Missouri River, sits St. Benedict\u2019s Abbey, a Benedictine monastery with a vibrant community of monks.
