NY Tri-State Priests
Fr. Patrick Langan, LC
Professor of Story Telling, Legionaries of Christ Novitiate and College of Humanities
From: Ireland
Date of Ordination:
Favorite Scripture: Matthew 28:19
“Go make disciples of all nations.”
Because it is the angle Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi members enter into the story of the gospel. How did Christ form his apostles so they could go and communicate effectively to different nations?
Favorite Hobby: Story. Fun fact, the Legionaries of Christ Novitiate and College of Humanities in Cheshire, CT may be the only seminary in the world with a mandatory course with college credits in Story.
Father Patrick, what are your main apostolates within Regnum Christi?
To propose to Regnum Christi members that they need to be great communicators, like those early apostles when they went to Rome. The Romans had never heard anything like their eloquence and sincerity. Certainly, they did not bore them. Otherwise, they would not have thrown them to the lions.
Why do you love being a priest?
It is the relationship with Christ who calls. Christ called me to be a Legionary.
