“This was the first Gala my husband and I have attended for Regnum Christi. Coming to the event helped me understand that Regnum Christi is like a spiritual family. We took part in a beautiful Mass and were witness to several people formally joining this spiritual family. It was powerful to see so many priests concelebrate the Mass, and I was able to meet some of the Brothers too. We talked about their backgrounds and formation process. The mood at the cocktail hour and dinner was so joyful! The warmth that we felt, and attention to detail, truly elevated the moment and made us feel like welcomed guests. This was more than a Gala… it had an amazing evangelical feel. The Holy Spirit was ever present! —Barb Walsh
“Starting with beautiful Mass and ending with fun on the dance floor… the Holy Spirit’s presence was deeply felt.” —Cindy Douglas
“It was all so beautiful! Mass was a glimpse of heaven on earth! I was deeply touched by hearing all our priests praying in Latin. RC Collective took our praise and worship to another level. Watching the video presentation of the vocation stories of Fr. Jason and Fr. Aaron Smith and their parents was so touching… and truly brought to life how the gift of the priesthood is for all of us. After the video, the brothers, who were both in attendance, teased each other and made jokes… it felt like we were all part of the family! The little touches everywhere, and the beautiful dining room set-up made the night feel so special. Being together with all my Regnum Christi sister and brothers, as well as friends of the movement, has made this event a highlight for me each year!” —Carolina Cordova
“I loved the theme of Igniting Vocations, and the reminder that we all have a special vocation given to us from God. Being able to support and celebrate the priesthood at the Gala was very meaningful. Seeing the young Brothers who were there discerning the priesthood brought this all to life for me… and the Mass, setting, meal together, and fellowship was extremely beautiful.
