CONSECRATED WOMEN
We are women who have received a personal call from Christ to follow him in a new way of living the evangelical vows in the world. And we said yes. We dedicate ourselves entirely to evangelization; accompanying and forming adults, families, youth, and children to become apostles for Christ’s Kingdom, through the Regnum Christi charism.
Our mission as Consecrated Women is to make present the mystery of Christ who goes out to meet people in the concrete realities of their lives.
Christ calls us to a deep intimacy with Him. Our mission is that of every baptized person, and the mission of Regnum Christi, lived through our consecration, with a special emphasis on the fact that Christ comes to meet us in the concrete realities of life.
Impelled by the Spirit, we feel sent to live our mission as signs of the Kingdom of Christ in the midst of the world through a deeply evangelical life that prophetically announces God’s word, and serves with humility and mercy.

Christ at the Center
Our spirituality is Christ-centered and born from an experience of the personal, real, passionate and faithful love of Christ. We fix our gaze upon the heart of Christ the King who came into this earth to establish his Kingdom among all people and in society, revealing the merciful love of his heart to others.
Christ reveals his Heart that burns with love, inviting us to love him and all that he loves. “The love of Christ impels us.” 2 Cor 5:14
We form part of Regnum Christi, and we are a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right.
We are lay women who make vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
We collaborate to make present the Kingdom of Christ with a spirit of service, humility, and availability.
We live in multicultural communities.

Discernment and formation
Do you feel called to belong exclusively to Jesus and bring that love to others?
Are you looking to live in community and together evangelize culture?
Do you want to form and accompany others to be Christian leaders?
You may want to discern your vocation with us. This is a period of personal discernment to get to know the lifestyle, charism and mission of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi. In this initial stage, vocational accompaniment is offered through spiritual direction and local vocational retreats. You could also choose to live in a community of Consecrated Women for one or two semesters. Formal discernment within the Society begins by participating in the summer entrance course.
