come mission with us!
Holy Week Missions 2024
Regnum Christi worldwide has a tradition of engaging in Holy Week Missions, uniting in a special way to Jesus’s self-gift through his Passion. U.S. missionaries are under the umbrella of Mission Youth, whose 2024 theme is is RADICALLY GIVEN. May we give ourselves as Christ does and bring the fire of His love to everyone we meet!
