Hank Christ of the Harrisburg chapter credits Bible study for enliving his love for the lord. Legatus’ 2019 National President of the Year is Hank Christ, who in December completed a two-year term as president of the Harrisburg Chapter.

Members of Legatus are many things: leaders, business owners, directors, philanthropists, and at least in two cases, matchmakers.

It was a little over two years ago when Legatus central regional director Ken Darnell reached out to Bishop David Kagan of Bismarck, North Dakota, to gauge the bishop’s interest in starting a Legatus chapter there.

In an unprecedented chartering, Legatus’ new Kansas City Chapter is the first to encompass two adjacent dioceses of the same name (Kansas City, MO; and Kansas City, KS). And the eve of the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary (August 14) provided the perfect setting.

Legatus was well represented this year at the annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on April 23 in Washington. D.C., with a 40-participant delegation on hand.

The spiritual, inspirational, and leisure event of the year for so many Legates, the 2018 Summit in late January at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, FL was a sold-out success. The three-day “Be Not Afraid” event held January 25-27 stirred Legates far and wide to be radically bold in their witness for Christ through the Catholic truth in engaging the challenges of the day.
