Regnum Christi

Regnum Christi (Latin for "Kingdom of Christ" is a Federation (within the Catholic Church) comprised of four vocations: Legionaries of Christ (the priestly congregation), Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi, and the Lay Members of Regnum Christi.

Regnum Christi has a Christ-Centered spirituality that is lived together in communion with all members (all four vocations), in union with the whole Church, and through a mission to build the kingdom of Christ.

Regnum Christi is made up of over 25,000 members throughout 38 countries world- wide.

The Charism of Regnum Christi: What does Christ call us to live? " He calls us to make his Kingdom present in the hearts of people and in society, making present the mystery of Christ, the Apostle of the Kingdom. This mystery is Jesus Christ himself who goes out to meet people, reveals the love of his heart, gathers them together, forms them as apostles and Christian leaders, and then sends and accompanies them to collaborate with him in evangelization." (A charism is something alive, something that is incarnated in the people who receive it, and that unfolds in a lifestyle and a way of living a mission.) The charism of Regnum Christi and its identity according to the Statutes has been approved by the Holy See. Lay members live the charism in five dimensions: spiritual life, formation, mission, accompaniment and team life. The core of their spiritual life is knowing Christ's love and sharing that love with others. Their mission is living the Gospel in their personal lives, and through leading retreats, missions, parish work, youth work, faith based small groups and other works of evangelization. They gather in teams to pray and to support each other in living their baptismal vocation to evangelize.
