Announcement of All Delegates to the 2024 General Convention

From April 29 to May 4, the first Ordinary General Convention of the Regnum Christi Federation will be held in Rome , an event that will bring together delegates representing all the vocations that make up this spiritual family and apostolic body.

 

The purpose of the General Convention is to discern together God’s will for Regnum Christi in the next six years, based on the reality of the world to which we are sent and the charism we have received.

 

To prepare for this meeting, a path of apostolic discernment is being followed. It began with the involvement of the greatest possible number of members of Regnum Christi, through discussions in the Encounters with Christ, which are one of the means of seeing reality with the perspective of apostles of the Kingdom.

 

The process is based on three key elements: walking together, discerning, and being apostles.

 

  1. Walking together means rising, listening to God’s call to make His Kingdom present, and maturing responses together.
  2. Discernment involves reading reality, listening to the voice of God in events, in people, and in one’s own heart, and seeing, judging, and acting from the gift of charism.
  3. Being an apostle means living with renewed awareness that it is Jesus Christ who sends us out and that our mission to make the Kingdom present is a participation in his own mission.

The questions that will guide the General Convention on this path of apostolic discernment are:

 

  1. How do we see the world that God sends us out into today and how are we called to live?
  2. What is God calling us to in the next 6 years?
  3. How can we respond as a spiritual family and apostolic body?

The General Convention will be a space for listening to each other and the Holy Spirit, to walk together and each one according to his or her vocation, and to display the charisma and concrete experience of our mission in today’s world.

 

In a letter dated January 29th, 2024, the General Directive College shared the following list of participants of the General Convention, and invited all members of Regnum Christi to join in prayer so that this time will be an opportunity to look together at the world and give renewed impetus to the mission we share as apostles of the Kingdom, from the Heart of Christ and our charism.

Alex Kucera

Atlanta

Alex Kucera has lived in Atlanta, GA, for the last 46 years. He is one of 9 children, married to his wife Karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. Alex joined Regnum Christi in 2007. Out of the gate, he joined the Helping Hands Medical Missions apostolate and is still participating today with the Ghana Friendship Mission.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process. Alex became a Group Leader in 2012 for four of the Atlanta Men’s Section Teams and continues today. Running in parallel, in 2013, Alex became a Team Leader and shepherded a large team of good men.

Alex was honored to be the Atlanta Mission Coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5-8 Holy Week Mission teams across Georgia. He also created and coordinated missions at a parish in Athens, GA, for 9 years. Alex continues to coordinate Holy Week Missions, Advent Missions, and Monthly missions at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, GA.

From 2016 to 2022, Alex also served as the Men’s Section Assistant in Atlanta. He loved working with the Men’s Section Director, the Legionaries, Consecrated, and Women’s Section leadership teams.

Alex is exceptionally grateful to the Legionaries, Consecrated, and many RC members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with Christ and others along the way. He knows that there is only one way, that’s Christ’s Way, with others!
