“The two most important days in your life: The day you were born and the day you find out why.” — Mark Twain
Last Friday I made my monthly retreat with the brother novices pictured above. It was a wonderful chance to thank God again for calling me: I am so happy being a priest in the Legion!
Today: ask a young person if they have ever heard Jesus calling them.
Here are our upcoming retreat dates in Cheshire and at our high-school seminaries in New Hampshire and Indiana:

FR SIMON was born on February 4, 1979, in Dunedin, New Zealand, the seventh son of Marie and Michael Devereux. He entered the novitiate of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, Connecticut, on September 15, 1997. After his novitiate and year of humanities in Cheshire, he studied a bachelor’s in Philosophy at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome from 2000 to 2002 and from 2005 to 2007, a licentiate in Philosophy. In between, he worked as a youth minister in Quebec, Canada, and he made his perpetual profession in Rome on October 4, 2005. In 2010 he completed a three-year bachelor’s degree in Theology and was ordained on Christmas Eve of the same year with 60 of his brother Legionaries by Card. Velasio di Paolis. Two of his brothers are also Legionary priests. Fr Simon is now based at the Legion of Christ seminary in Cheshire, Connecticut.
