As the mission of Regnum Christi extends, so does the need to develop and grow Regnum Christi sections. During annual planning, section leaders endeavor to identify where to focus efforts for the coming year. The RC Thriving Tool is a helpful resource to guide section leaders in identifying and prioritizing the natural next steps to take in the development of a section based on its current stage of development.

As the basis of the tools, we have identified six basic stages of section development – from Spark to Innovating and Leading. In addition, we have distinguished 11 main elements to consider when looking to the holistic care, development, and growth of a section. Using the tools, the Section Director can identify which stage of development the section is currently at for each element, and visualize what the next step in development might look like.
