Who we are

Members of ECYD make a pledge of friendship with Christ and with each other, to transform the world for Christ. ECYD presents adolescents with an attractive and demanding Christian ideal and lifestyle. ECYD members live their mission by taking advantage of every occasion to collaborate with Christ in making his Kingdom present and by giving witness to an authentic Christian life of self-giving.

The ECYD member walks with their friend Jesus, accompanied by others, sharing a mission and with eyes fixed on the final destination, heaven.

Fr. Chad Everts, LC, is originally from Wisconsin, where he grew up in a large family. At the age of 19, upon finishing his associate degree in forestry, he entered the seminary of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, CT, and soon after went to Germany to begin his novitiate. He continued his studies in Spain and Italy. During his studies in Rome, he was sent to Paris for his apostolic internship, where he oversaw ECYD and Regnum Christi youth activities.

He was ordained a priest in Rome in November 2004 and returned to Paris to continue his mission with the youth. Each year, he would organize over 10 ECYD camps and several family pilgrimages (such as Rome, the Holy Land, and the Way of St. James).

After 24 years in Europe, he returned to the US and joined the Chicago community, where he dedicated most of his time to youth work, spiritual direction, and vocation work. He then spent two years in Edgerton, WI, where he continued to organize ECYD camps and events for families of the upper Midwest. In August of 2024, he joined the Houston community, where he is currently the boys ECYD section director.
