Being the fourth in a family of five boys and two girls, Br. Philip Weisbrod, LC can recall his mother suggesting the priesthood to his older brothers.

The official renewal of the lay branch began in late 2014 with a mixture of hope, expectation, commitment and perhaps a current of uncertainty for Regnum Christi members in North America. In February 2016, representatives from across the Region will attend a Territorial Convenvention. Lay members will draft recommendations regarding the Statutes which pertain to the 1st and 2nd degree members and will elect delegates for the International Convention.
