Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Members and Friends of Regnum Christi,
Just as summer has ushered in changes among the members of our community of Consecrated Women, there have also been some changes in our Legionary Community. Many members across the Ohio Valley have had a change to meet and work with Legionary brothers and Regnum Christi mission men who were assigned here over the past year. We are saying good-bye to several who have received new assignments and are grateful for each in his service here. Please join me in praying that Our Lord continues to bless them where He calls them to serve.
We are pleased to have Br. James Kuchar LC join us soon as a member of the ECyD and youth work team. He will also be helping at Royalmont Academy.
Paul Panas, a Regnum Christi missionary, left on May 23rd to go back to college in Syracuse, NY, where he studies architecture. During his time in the Ohio Valley, Paul worked as a member of the camp staff and as a mentor to boys at Conquest events. He was very effective in organizing activities and offering formation. Being very good with his hands, he performed handyman projects around the camp and fixed a lot of things.
Samuel Jeschke, a Regnum Christi missionary, left on May 26th to go home to Bavaria, which is in the southeastern corner of Germany. He was a pre-candidate in Germany for four years, and is discerning his vocation and a decision to enter the novitiate.
Samuel spent much of his year of missionary work at Camp River Ridge, where he specialized in preparing retreat schedules, especially Parish retreats, and was excellent at networking. He was also involved with the high school students at Royalmont.
Br. Thomas Fredrickson, LC has been in the Ohio Valley for four years and will be leaving in September for Rome to continue his studies. He has been administrator of the LC house, as well as assistant to the chaplain at Royalmont where he served as mentor and teacher. Br. Thomas has also helped out at camps, especially during the summer.
Br. Abraham Eo, LC came to the Ohio Valley after two-years of mandatory military service in South Korea. Here he has served as director of missionaries and worked as a member of the Camp River Ridge staff for weekend and summer camps. Br. Abraham organized a lot of camp activities and mentored Conquest boys. He also helped with youth ministry on Sundays at St. Bernard in Harrison, OH. He will be leaving for Rome to continue his studies.
Br. Carlos Ramirez, LC (aka Br. Tagua) came to the Ohio Valley from Guadalajara, Mexico, and will be going to another community outside the USA. He assisted with an Encounter Team for young men that meets on Tuesday evenings at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, and he helped at Camp River Ridge, especially as sacristan, youth minister and mentor. Br. Carlos also prepared a new camp called "Quo Vadis Camp | Quo Vadis" where young men discern their vocation called.
Be assured of my constant prayers for you and your families! I send my blessings for a joyful summer, enjoying God in nature and your loved ones.
In Christ,
Yvonne Nuxoll
