One of Regnum Christi’s key apostolic priorities is forming communities of apostles who build Christ’s Kingdom. This happens primarily through the 70 localities across the Territory, each one carrying out the RC mission on the ground in response to the particular needs of the Church and society where it is.
To support these communities, the Mission Support Team’s Area of Locality Governance includes three Locality Representatives who accompany and oversee each locality, fostering growth and making sure it has what it needs to fulfill its mission.

Since 2018, Yvonne Nuxoll, a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, has supported localities and their local directors from the territorial level. Her caring personal attention and deep commitment to the people she serves have shaped the role and mission of the Area of Locality Governance. When the Area was created in 2025, Fr. Benjamin O’Loughlin and Donna Garrett joined her as Locality Representatives. Together, the three of them support all 70 localities in North America.
This month, Yvonne will move on to continue serving the Regnum Christi Young Women’s Section in Atlanta, Georgia. As she does so, Tima Borges, a longtime Regnum Christi member from Milton, Ontario, in the Greater Toronto Area, will take on the role of Locality Representative on October 16, 2026.
Reflecting on the change ahead, Yvonne shared:
“It's been an honor to serve the leaders in various localities throughout the North American Territory over the years. Each one has been an inspiration to me, a fellow apostle in the Lord's vineyard who has invested prayer, heart, sacrifice, and time to serve those at their side through times of sowing seed, cultivating, and harvesting. Sometimes the work is hidden and invisible, yet I trust the Lord will bless their efforts abundantly. I am confident that Tima will be an excellent RC Locality Representative to accompany and guide locality leaders in the upcoming years. I am holding each of you in my heart.”
Fr. Aaron Smith, LC, Territorial Delegate for Regnum Christi in North America, oversees the Mission Support Team. Expressing his gratitude for Yvonne’s leadership and her years of service on the team, he said:
“I am so grateful to Yvonne for all of her hard work over the years. She has literally poured herself out seeking the good of each locality and each person she has accompanied. Her witness of self-gift and hands-on love for the Lord is an example that will continue to inspire the Mission Support Team and the locality leadership she has worked with for years to come!”
Meet Tima Borges, new Locality Representative
Tima brings a deep love of Regnum Christi and years of locality leadership in Ontario to her new role, and she looks forward to putting both at the service of localities across the Territory. “It is a humbling experience to be called to serve Christ in any capacity,” she said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and excited to see where Christ will lead us. I look forward to accompanying others, learning from them, and growing together as we continue to build and expand the mission of Regnum Christi across the Territory.”
Over nearly 20 years as a Regnum Christi member, Tima has served in roles including Team Leader, RC Local Director, and Chair of the Local College. She is a co-founder of Mother of Good Counsel Academy, where she currently serves as Chair of the Board. She holds a Diploma in Law and Security Administration from Sheridan College and a Certificate in Writing for Publication from the Long Ridge Writers Group. Tima and her husband, David, have been married for 30 years and have four sons, ages 11 to 27.
Please join the Mission Support Team in praying with gratitude for Yvonne, her years of supporting localities, and the mission ahead of her, and for Tima as she steps into her new mission. Learn more about the Mission Support Team and its work here.
