The Novitiate and College of Humanities of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, Connecticut, is a formation house dedicated to forming priests for the Congregation.

New members of the Legion of Christ who are assigned to the North-American Territory spend their first fours years here after joining as their first stage of training for religious life and priestly ministry, before studying philosophy and theology in Rome.

The Legion of Christ acquired the property in 1982 and moved the novitiate from a much smaller house in Orange, Connecticut.

[4] Once a year, the novices dedicate a month of their summer to manual labor or, alternatively, charitable work.

[5][6] At their College of Humanities, the members of the Legion of Christ undertake studies in humanities (Western Civilization, Literature, Art and Music Theory and History), oral and written communication, foreign languages (Latin, Greek, and Spanish), Mathematics, Physics, and Biology for Bioethics.
