Father's Day Novena
June 7th -15th
Join the Legionaries of Christ and all our Catholic benefactors – and thousands of Christians around the world in a Novena to the Heavenly Father for all Earthly Fathers, Spiritual and Natural.
For Nine Consecutive Days, we will turn to the Heavenly Father, in, through and with His Son and Our Savior Jesus, and ask Him to fill all earthly Fathers with heavenly wisdom, authority, and grace. We will ask the Heavenly Father to empower and baptize earthly fathers with the Holy Spirit. So that they can live out their vital vocation in an age which has all but forgotten or even rejected fatherhood.
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
June 18th -26th
Our nine days of consecutive Masses for the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus allows you to focus your intentions and desires on the Heart of Jesus. St. John Paul II, a great devotee of the Sacred Heart, said, “This feast reminds us of the mystery of the love of God for the people of all times.” This is a moveable feast that honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 1856, the Feast of the Sacred Heart became a universal feast. Join us in these nine days of Masses to at our seminary in Cheshire, Connecticut.

ABOUT US
To love Christ with passion
Christ-centeredness constitutes the fundamental and specific characteristic of the Legionary spirit. Therefore, aided by God’s grace, Legionaries strive to make Christ Jesus the center, standard, and example of their lives as religious, priests and apostles. They seek to know, love, and experience him intimately, above all in the Gospel, the Eucharist, and the Cross, and strive to imitate him in a special way through self-giving to their neighbor. (Constitution 9)
Easter Offerings
Easter is a season of profound transformation, a time when the old gives way to the new and the broken is made whole. It is a reminder that God’s power is made perfect in weakness, and that His grace is sufficient for all our needs.
