Legionaries of Christ Celebrate Founder's Birthday

This morning the Holy Father received 4,000 priests and seminarians of the Legionaries of Christ and members of the movement "Regnum Christi" on the 60th anniversary of the priestly ordination of their founder and superior general, Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado.

The Holy Father said that this "happy circumstance" of their founder's anniversary "invites us to recall the gifts that he has received from the Lord in these 60 years of priestly ministry and at the same time it is an occasion to highlight the commitments that you have taken on as Legionaries of Christ at the service of the Gospel."
