Introduction: The RC Spiritual Family
A Regnum Christi member’s life is an adventure and a mission.
It’s following Christ with love, and being a part of something bigger than yourself.
It’s allowing God to touch the world through you and finding yourself changed in the process.
It’s loving the Church and living the Joy of the Gospel.
It’s being a part of a spiritual family — a community of apostles of different vocations with the same charism and mission.

Regnum Christi: 4 Vocations 1 Spiritual Family
What does is mean to be a member of Regnum Christi? Did you know that Regnum Christi is made up of members with four different vocations?
In this online panel discussion, Tony MacDonnell – a Lay Consecrated Man of Regnum Christi, Jacquie Lustig – a Consecrated Woman Regnum Christi, Fr. Jaime Lorenzo, LC – a priest of the Legionaries of Christ, as well as Christina Jacobeen and Christian Rabelais – lay members of Regnum Christi, sit down together to talk about what a vocation in Regnum Christi looks like for each of them in their own vocations.
The 5 Elements of Life in Regnum Christi
Regnum Christi invites members to live their Christian faith actively, with enthusiasm and love. The RC vocation helps members live their baptismal commitments and fulfill the mission of being salt & light in the world. All Regnum Christi members develop this contemplative & evangelizing way of life in five elements: their spiritual life, formation, apostolate, personal accompaniment, and team life.
Take a brief look at all of them with this video from Fr. John Bartunek, LC.
