With approximately 1,000 priests worldwide, the Legionaries are part of the Regnum Christi family, which includes laity and consecrated members. They engage in various ministries, including education and youth work, with a strong emphasis on evangelization, promoting the Catholic faith, social justice, and performing works of mercy.
