God’s time
for each vocation is unique. Some receive his call earlier
in life, others later. The Legion’s apostolic schools are a
service we provide to teenagers who are seriously considering the
priesthood, and to their families. Four areas of formation are
covered to foster the vocation: the spiritual, intellectual, human and
apostolic.
The heart of the school is friendship with Christ. We
help the young men grow in their love for Jesus
through prayer, along with a special devotion to Mary. Each
day the students come together for morning prayers, Mass, a
half-hour directed prayer, the Rosary, a ten-minute gospel reflection, Adoration
of the Blesses Sacrament and Benediction, and night prayers.
The academic
formation is College Preparatory level, with classes each year in
English (French in the Cornwall campus), Math, History, Geography, Science,
Music, English Composition (French composition in the Cornwall campus), Latin,
Public Speaking, Religion, with Greek in the 11th and 12th
grades. The lay teachers are highly qualified and give personal
attention to each student. Understanding and critical thinking is fostered,
as well as memorization, and written and oral exercise.
Human formation
and especially character formation is key to the program. Recreation
and sports include soccer, basketball, hiking, swimming; with ice hockey

and skiing depending on the local climate. A spirit of
responsibility is fostered through assigned tasks in the upkeep and
maintenance of the school; healthy friendships are developed in teamwork,
a spirit of universal charity and cheerful service to others.
Cleanliness, order, punctuality, friendliness, obedience and respect, perseverance, kindness and
dependability are also valued and inculcated.The opportunities for apostolic work
depend on local conditions, and they usually include helping teach
CCD, participating in running local clubs, taking care of the
organization of retreats and special events at the school, and
door-to-door missions.
Again, every vocation is unique. Some young men join
in the seventh or eighth grade. Others have come later
when they started thinking about the priesthood. Our doors are
open to all, as long as the parents are in
agreement with and support the school’s pedagogy and spirituality.
