News - June 2020 RSS Feed

Thy Kingdom Come! Dear Regnum Christi members and friends,   Greetings and peace to you all. I received the happy news that my term is finished in Washington, DC and I am now assigned to the new Legionary community in Raleigh to continue working in Regnum Christi for all of North Carolina. Even though the official list of Legionary assignments won't be published until June 22nd, for planning purposes I want to let you know now. I have communicated this news in DC already. Given my summer duties, I will move into the LC residence at St Joseph's parish in Raleigh in the second half of August. I won't be able to attend in spiritual direction until then, as I finish my responsibilities in DC, and then visit my family in Ohio and do my annual spiritual exercises.    With regard to visiting the RC members in the Charlotte diocese, as soon as my ecclesiastical domicile is processed and changed to Raleigh, I can petition to receive faculties for ministry there. I do not know how long that may take. I will keep you informed about that. Until then, through Greg Grazen and Mary Ann Verderber, we can keep working together to coordinate monthly retreats (both on-line and in person), annual spiritual exercises and tridua of renewal, spiritual directions and other activities.  I am very much looking forward to settling in Raleigh. My assignment is for 3 years, and then we would re-evaluate to see if I should renew my assignment for another 3 year term or move on.  Thank you for the constant prayers and support, and see you in person in a couple of months. Until then, count on my prayers for you and your intentions.    Yours sincerely in Christ, Fr Stephen Ellis, LC
