The brief historical journey covers pastoral decisions, collaboration with the dioceses and a work that grew in communities, vocations and projects. What factors made that foundation possible? How does the Territorial Direction College of Brazil invite us to renew the missionary impulse today on this anniversary?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A fertile land<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since 1980, the possibility of starting missionary work in Brazil was already being contemplated. The first Legionaries who arrived quickly confirmed that it was a great \u00abmission land\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The data of the Catholic Church in the country at that time reinforced this perception: about 90 % of the population declared itself Catholic, but there was a great lack of vocations, especially of Brazilian origin. There was barely one priest for every ten thousand inhabitants. Of the 13,155 priests at the time, 7,622 were foreigners and half of them were over 50 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00abWe are in Brazil because it is a virgin and fertile field, where there is a lack of holy workers and where, once sown, the fruit will be immense,\u00bb said the first Legionaries who arrived in Brazil in a newsletter that they sent to the others at that time to inform them of the steps they were taking.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112965\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112965\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112965\" src=\"https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seminario-menor-legionarios-de-cristo-curitiba.webp\" alt=\"40 years in Brazil: from the first steps to a growing mission\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seminario-menor-legionarios-de-cristo-curitiba.webp 900w, https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seminario-menor-legionarios-de-cristo-curitiba-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seminario-menor-legionarios-de-cristo-curitiba-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seminario-menor-legionarios-de-cristo-curitiba-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fa\u00e7ade of the first novitiate in Curitiba, Brazil (Image credit: Legionaries of Christ Brazil)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Invitations and first steps<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pope John Paul II suggested to the then Card. Eugenio de Araujo Sales - archbishop of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o de Rio de Janeiro between 1971 and 2001 - to invite the Legionaries of Christ to work in his archdiocese. Geraldo Micheletto Pellanda, bishop of Ponta Grossa (Paran\u00e1), was also at the headquarters of the General Direction of the Congregation in Rome to invite the foundation of a community there.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When these invitations were issued, Cardinal de Rio authorized the chaplaincy of the school. <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our Lady of Mercy<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and appointed a Legionary as pastor of the parish, which served the English-speaking community residing in the city. In Ponta Grossa, the bishop offered a small house of the diocese for the nascent community and authorized the opening of a novitiate, which was inaugurated on January 3, 1987 with two Brazilian novices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The foundation in Rio de Janeiro<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On August 21, 1985, the initiators of the first house of the Legionaries of Christ in Brazil arrived in Rio de Janeiro at night: Fr. Fintan Lawless, L.C. and Fr. Javier Sicilia, L.C., accompanied by Fr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The newsletter of those years described it as follows: \u00abNow we are living the birth. It is a time of slow processes, of plans and dreams. Everything is still to be done. Days of foundation, with moments of impatience and some fear, but with the certainty that one day the plans will become reality\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The next day, under a heavy rain, the first Mass was celebrated. Fintan explained who the Legionaries of Christ were and what their mission there would be. In the following days, they visited ecclesiastical authorities to obtain permits and to officially erect the house of apostolate. Card. Araujo Sales thanked them for their presence, recommended that they maintain contact with the local clergy and encouraged them to learn Portuguese. Shortly afterwards, Fr. Fintan enrolled at the university to pursue a doctorate and to offer some classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112969\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112969\" src=\"https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/40a.png\" alt=\"40 years in Brazil: from the first steps to a growing mission\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/40a.png 600w, https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/40a-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/regnumchristi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/40a-18x6.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(From left) Fr.

The first apostolic activities were with the English-speaking community, but, with the support of diocesan priests, a group of young people was formed that became the basis of what would become the first Regnum Christi youth group in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eduardo as superior, pastor and director of the youth section; Fr. Javier Sicilia, L.C., as director of the ladies' section; and assigned Fr. Fintan Lawless, L.C., to doctorate and apostolic work at the Pontifical University. In January 1986, Fr. Fintan Kelly, L.C., joined the community, with the mission of going to Ponta Grossa. Finally, in May 1986, Fr. Jos\u00e9 C\u00e1rdenas, L.C., Fr. Fintan Kelly, L.C., and then Brother Jorge Morales, L.C., founded the community in that city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The first months were filled with experiences such as discovering the national passion for soccer. During the 1986 World Cup, they experienced firsthand how an entire city could stop to watch the national team. The chronicler of the bulletin recorded with a certain humor that: \u00abEvery time Brazil plays, life stops in Rio. Not even buses meet...\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A seed that bore fruit<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thus Regnum Christi began with the presence of the Legionaries of Christ in Brazil, in the midst of rain, daily challenges and the contagious joy of a people who live intensely the faith, the warm welcome, the joy and generosity.
