Elves for Shelves food drive

/ Mission Connection

For the past six years, Pinecrest Academy has hosted the annual “Elves for Shelves” food drive, a service initiative that began years prior but gained momentum in 2017 when the lower, middle and high schools began competing to see who could stock the most shelves! Each year, the campaign begins just after Thanksgiving and runs through mid-December. The St. Joseph’s Food Pantry at St. Brendan Catholic Church has been the beneficiary of this annual school campaign for several years now. In 2023, close to 11,000 food items were collected by families, faculty, and staff. Students were encouraged to be actively engaged, with some going door-to-door in their neighborhoods, where they encountered many who wanted to help.

November Prayer-a-Day Calendar for Souls in Purgatory

/ Mission Connection

Regnum Christi member, CC Christopherson of Ohio, shares a way she and her family make the most of the month of November with a calendar on which each day is assigned to a deceased person whom they pray for on that day.

This is a calendar printout you can keep on your fridge to remind everyone of their holy November mission. You write the name of a deceased loved one on each day of the calendar, reminding you to dedicate your prayers and sacrifices for them on that day. At the end of November, you will have brought 30 souls a bit closer to their eternal reward!

Nun-Run

/ Mission Connection

Catholic parents are called to help their children discern God’s will for their lives, whether that be marriage or the religious life. But many Catholic girls, especially in North America, have never seen religious sisters or nuns in everyday life, and have very little knowledge of what daily religious and consecrated life even entails. How can they discern a religious vocation when they don’t even know what they are discerning, when they’ve never witnessed it?

Donna McCall and her daughters enlisted the help of Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, Natalia Santos, who serves as the ECYD Girls Director in Atlanta. Together, the two contacted religious orders in the area, and eventually arranged to visit five different congregations in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Free lodging was provided by generous Regnum Christi families in the Nashville and Birmingham areas, who offered up their home or paid for hotel accommodations for the group. In the end, Donna and Natalia, with the help of a mom who generously offered to drive the group in her 15-passenger van, took five girls to five different religious orders in three different states over three and a half days.

Florence Leadership Academy

/ Mission Connection

Launched in September, 2023, under the guidance of its founder and executive director, Fr. Kramer Cameron, LC, the Florence Leadership Academy is an initiative designed to form, train, inspire, and accompany young people towards their leadership potential. The program offers high school students training in ethical, sustainable, and inclusive leadership through monthly meetings where participants have the opportunity to meet prominent leaders in a wide range of fields, such as the arts, culture, architecture, fashion, technology, sports, healthcare, education, and business. Through talks and workshops, members of Florence Leadership Academy learn from the personal experiences of leaders across a variety of disciples, while meeting and networking with other young people from around the world, creating what Fr. Kramer hopes will launch a “leadership renaissance” among today’s youth, and tomorrow’s leaders. “We believe that young people have unlimited potential and an infinite desire to do good and have an impact,” says Fr. Kramer. “We want to tap into this potential and create a movement which changes leadership forever.”

Lenten Virtual Pilgrimage of Prayer Through Jerusalem

/ Mission Connection

With the ongoing conflict in the Holy Land continuing to prevent pilgrims from visiting Jerusalem, the holy sites in Jerusalem remain mostly empty. In 2024, Magdala announced the release of its Lenten Virtual Pilgrimage of Prayer Through Jerusalem, allowing people from all over the world to visit Jerusalem virtually during Lent.

The daily 20-minute program took virtual pilgrims to well-known holy sites, including Calvary, Jesus’ tomb, Mount Zion, Gethsemane, the Western Wall, and the Way of the Cross, accompanied by a reflection on Christian prayer from these and many other hidden monasteries and Churches in the Old City that most visitors have never seen.

You can find out more information on Magdala’s website, Instagram account, and YouTube account.

Catholic Institute of Technology

/ Mission Connection

Set in a beautiful villa in the scenic town of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, the Catholic Institute of Technology is a brand new university founded on the vision of integrating cutting-edge scientific research and rapid technological advancement with the wisdom and tradition of the Catholic faith. In the fall of 2024, CatholicTech will open its doors to students seeking to become saints, scientists, scholars, and leaders in their fields.

The mission of the school is to integrate the wisdom of revelation with the truths that are discoverable to human reason, through a curriculum that incorporates the rigors of technical education with a moral and spiritual formation in the Catholic faith. To that end, CatholicTech hopes to form students who will be impactful leaders in their fields of scientific research and innovation, fully aligned with the teachings of the Catholic Church and informed by faith, reason, and virtue.

Fr. Michael Baggot, LC, and Lílian Santos, Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, both serve on the faculty of Philosophy and Theology for CatholicTech.  Madeline Conover, a Regnum Christi young adult, serves as Director of Admissions.

“The exciting thing about starting an institution like this is that we have the energy of a tech start-up, with lots of room for innovation. For the students, this means they’ll be given the tools they need to succeed, as well as the runway space to be independent and creative, and what they bring to the school will shape the university, too.”
